Carbon-14 decays to Nitrogen-14 by beta- decay with a half-life of 5730 years ...
614C --> 714N + (W- --> e- + v-e)
... which means that a down quark is converted to an up quark by the weak interaction, converting a neutron into a proton and emitting a W- boson, which then subsequently decays into an electron and an electron antineutrino.

∙ 8y agoWhen C-14 emits its beta particle (electron), one of the neutrons becomes a proton, which keeps your mass constant, but increases your atomic number by one. So now, you have stable nitrogen-14. This is a big part of the reason why our atmosphere is so nitrogen-rich.

∙ 8y ago"Beta decay" may either refer to an atom emitting an electron, or an anti-electron (positron). In the case of carbon-14, it emits a negative electron, and becomes nitrogen-14. Note that the number of nucleons (14) remains the same, the number of protons increased by one (from 6 to 7), and the number of neutrons decreased by one.

To what does plutonium-239 decay when it loses an alpha particle?
Yes, plutonium-239 emits alpha particles by decay.
When radium emits an alpha particle the resulting nucleus has atomic number?
The result is radon, atomic number 86. 226Ra - alpha particle = 222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)

If the isotope bismuth-213 emits an alpha particle two protons and two neutrons which element will be left over?
Emitting an alpha particle 213Bi become 209Tl.
When radium atomic number 88 emits an alpha particle the resulting nucleus has atomic numbers?
226Ra------------alpha particle----------222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
When C6 emits a beta particle what does it become?
When a beta particle is emitted a neutron changes to a proton in the nucleus. Thus the molecule would have one more proton, so would be an isotope of nitrogen.
