Here's your equation for the beta minus decay of carbon-14: 614C => 714N + e- + ve An atom of carbon-14 transforms into an atom of nitrogen-14 here. In carbon-14, a down quark in a neurton becomes an up quark. This change, mediated by the weak interaction or weak force, changes that neutron into a proton. This creates another element, the nitrogen, and an electron is created within the nucleus and then is ejected along with an antineutrion. Use the link below to learn more about beta decay.
