Cu decays by either negative or positive beta emission.
The equation for the negative beta decay of 64Cu is:
2964Cu --> 3064Zn + -10e
where -10e represents a negative beta particle or electron.
The equation for the positive beta decay of 64Cu is:
2964Cu --> 2864Ni + 10e
where 10e represents a positive beta particle or positron.

What are three types of beta decay?
There are two types of beta decay, and they are beta plus (beta +) decay and beta minus (beta -) decay. A post already exists on beta decay, and a link to that related question can be found below.
Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
gamma decay beta decay alpha decay
What is a particle that is never emitted in beta decay?
The alpha particle is emitted in alpha decay, and that means you won't see it appear in beta decay. In beta decay, you'll get either an electron or a positron emitted from the nucleus. A link to the related question here can be found below. "What is beta decay?" is already posted and answered.
What is the product of the beta decay of bismuth?
It depends on which isotope of bismuth we are talking about. Most isotopes less than bismuth-209 that decay by beta do so via beta+, and they decay to lead, while most isotopes greater than bismuth-209 that decay by beta do so via beta-, and they decay to polonium.There are some isotopes that decay by other mechanisms, such as alpha, but the question asked only about beta.
What would be the product of the beta decay of bismuth?
The beta decay product of francium-223 is radium-223.

What is the beta decay of radium 226?
Radium-226 does not decay by beta decay. It decays by alpha decay to radon-222.
Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
gamma decay beta decay alpha decay
Disintegration of a nucleus with the emission of an electron is known as what type of decay?
beta
Determine what type of decay occurs when thorium-231 undergoes radioactive decay to form protactinium-231?
Thorium 234: Beta decay. Atomic number increases by 1.
How do you figure out beta decay of molecule?
Beta decay is a property of atoms not molecules.
A beta particle is formed in the nucleus of an isotope due to the?
Radioactive decay; beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (an electron or a positron) is emitted
Are beta emission and beta decay the same?
There is a difference between beta emitters and beta particles. In situations where an atomic nucleus exhibits nuclear instability due to too many neutrons for the number of protons or vice versa, that nucleus may undergo beta decay. It the decay event occurs, that atom is considered a beta emitter. The emitted particle is the beta particle. That's the difference. (There are two different beta particles, so check the articles on beta decay to get the scoop.)
Will electrons will be emitted in a radioactive decay?
It does not usually involve the atom's electrons, except for a type of decay called K capture. But the beta particles ejected in what is called beta decay are either electrons or positrons.
Why energy of beta particles is different in beta particle decay?
because the total enegy of the decay is carried by beta particle and the nutrino.
What is a particle that is never emitted in beta decay?
The alpha particle is emitted in alpha decay, and that means you won't see it appear in beta decay. In beta decay, you'll get either an electron or a positron emitted from the nucleus. A link to the related question here can be found below. "What is beta decay?" is already posted and answered.
What are the products of radioactive decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
