Chemistry
1 answer:
djverab [1.8K]3 years ago
4 0

The decay reaction of Carbon-14 which releases Beta particles, resulting in the element Nitrogen-14

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,  

  • alpha α particles ₂He⁴
  • beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
  • gamma particles ₀γ⁰
  • positron particles ₁e⁰
  • neutron ₀n¹

Carbon-14 emits beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles , so the atomic number increases by 1, the mass number remains the same

Reaction

\tt \large{\boxed{\bold{_6^{14}C\rightarrow _7^{14}N+_{-1}^0e}}
