What is the nuclear equation for the decay of iodine?

Answer 1

Here is the equation for the beta minus decay of iodine-131: 53131I => 54131Xe + e- + ve The iodine-131 undergoes a transformation when a down quark within a neutron in its nucleus changes into an up quark. This change is mediated by the weak interaction, or weak force. The neutron then becomes a proton, and an electron is created and ejected from the nucleus along with an antineutrino.

Answer 2

There are a number of different isotopes of iodine, each of which has its own way of decaying and its own decay equation. There is a link to one below.

Answer 3

There are 31 known isotopes of Nickel. Please specify which one you are interested in.
