We see that carbon-14 undergoes beta minus decay to become nitrogen-14. Here's the equation: 614C => 714N + e- + ve The carbon-14 nucleus has a neutron within it change into a proton Then we see both a beta minus particle (an electron with high kinetic energy) and an antineutrino ejected from the nucleus.

What is the nuclear decay equation for hydrogen-hydrogen?
The only hydrogen isotope that undergoes any type of radioactive decay is tritium (hydrogen-3), it undergoes beta decay to become helium-3. If that's not what you were asking about, I'm confused by your question.
What kind of decay results in the formation of a different element?
both top and bottomAlpha decay is a kind of radioactive decay in which an alpha particle is emitted from an atom. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, when an atom of an element undergoes alpha decay, it loses two protons, which changes the atom from one element to another. This is because each different element is identified by the number of protons in its nuclei.or to be more blunt without all the detail radioactive
If astatine undergoes beta decay what element will result?
Atomic number becomes two units less and atomic mass four units less. Bismuth is the answer.
Alpha decay and beta decay are two forms of decay that cause transmutation?
Transmutation, which is the change of atoms from one element to another.
Beta decay of neodymium-144?
Nope, Neodymium-144 undergoes Alpha decay to Cerium-140.
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay does it become a different element?
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.
If seaborgium undergoes alpha decay which element is created?
Isotopes of rutherfordium.
What is the lightest element that can undergo radioactive decay and what type of decay occurs in that element?
The lightest "element" that can undergo radioactive decay is the isotope hydrogen-3, which undergoes beta decay. The lightest element with no radioactively stable isotopes is technetium, and its isotopes have different modes of decay.
If Sulfur 34 undergoes alpha decay what will it become?
S-34 is stable. It will not decay.
What happens to a radioisotope when it undergoes decay?
This isotope is transformed in another isotope of another element.
Can an element of the periodic table be changed but not by combining another element?
It is possible if the element undergoes nuclear decay. But this is possible only for unstable isotopes.
What is meant by a radioactive element?
A radioactive element is an element that readily undergoes nuclear decay - the nucleus spontaneously emits subatomic particles as the element changes into another element.
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different what?
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different element or isotope. All transmutation occurs through decay or nuclear reaction.
If chromium undergoes gamma decay what does it become?
It would become vandium, iron, titanium or maganese depending on the amount of decay and the half-life of chromium
How can the element Americium change into the element neptunium?
Americium decays into neptunium-239 through alpha decay. It has a half-life of 7,370 years.
What does bismuth 210 become when it undergoes alpha decay?
bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206
What is the nuclear decay equation for hydrogen-hydrogen?
The only hydrogen isotope that undergoes any type of radioactive decay is tritium (hydrogen-3), it undergoes beta decay to become helium-3. If that's not what you were asking about, I'm confused by your question.
