The type of nuclear process illustrated below is called beta emission (or beta decay). ${ }_{26}^{59} \mathrm{Fe} \longrightarrow{ }_{27}^{59} \mathrm{Co}+{ }_{-1}^{0} \beta$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The image and description indicate that the process shown is beta emission, which is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (an electron or positron) is emitted from the nucleus. Therefore, the statement is true.
