What type of radioactive decay would be expected for the unstable nuclide ?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of the term "beta" in the answer choices suggests that the unstable nuclide is likely to undergo beta decay, which involves the emission of a beta particle (an electron). None of the other answer choices (alpha particle emission, positron emission, gamma ray emission, neutron emission) involve the emission of electrons, so they can be ruled out.
