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.

What element is formed when 60CO emits a beta particle?
When 60Co decays by beta- decay it produces 60Ni.
When a Uranium 238 emits an alpha particle the nucleus left behind has how many protons?
When a Uranium-238 emits an alpha particle, it loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The resulting nucleus, Thorium-234, has 90 protons.
When the radioactive isotope of Th-234 emits a beta particle to become Pa-234 it also loses a small amount of mass which is emitted as?
gamma radiation!
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)
To what does plutonium-239 decay when it loses an alpha particle?
Yes, plutonium-239 emits alpha particles by decay.
When the hydrogen isotope tritium 3 emits a beta particle it becomes an isotope of?
When tritium-3 emits a beta particle, it becomes helium-3. The beta particle is an electron, so when it is emitted, a neutron in the tritium nucleus is converted into a proton, resulting in helium-3, which has two protons and one neutron.
What isotope is formed when 3H emits a b particle?
The isotope formed when tritium (3H) emits a beta particle is helium-3 (3He). This process occurs when a neutron in the tritium nucleus converts to a proton, releasing a beta particle (electron) and an electron antineutrino.
What element is formed when 60CO emits a beta particle?
When 60Co decays by beta- decay it produces 60Ni.
When thorium emits beta particle the resulting nucleus has a atomic number?
The resulting element is protactinium, atomic number 91.
What isotope is produced when np 239 emits a beta particle?
When neptunium-239 (Np-239) emits a beta particle, it undergoes beta decay, which transforms a neutron into a proton. This process results in the formation of plutonium-239 (Pu-239), as the atomic number increases by one while the mass number remains the same. Thus, the isotope produced is plutonium-239.
When radium atomic number 88 emits an alpha particle the resulting nucleus has atomic numbers?
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?
Lead-209 will be left over after the isotope bismuth-213 undergoes alpha decay, as the emission of an alpha particle causes the atomic number of the element to decrease by 2. Bismuth-213 has an atomic number of 83, so after the emission of an alpha particle (which has an atomic number of 2), the resulting element will have an atomic number of 81, which corresponds to lead.
What happens to a radioisotope when it undergoes alpha emission?
During alpha emission, a radioisotope emits an alpha particle, which is composed of two protons and two neutrons. This reduces the atomic number of the parent isotope by 2 and the atomic mass by 4. The emission of an alpha particle transforms the parent isotope into a new element.
When a Uranium 238 emits an alpha particle the nucleus left behind has how many protons?
When a Uranium-238 emits an alpha particle, it loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The resulting nucleus, Thorium-234, has 90 protons.
When the radioactive isotope of Th-234 emits a beta particle to become Pa-234 it also loses a small amount of mass which is emitted as?
gamma radiation!
What element does californium make when it emits an alpha particle?
When californium emits an alpha particle, it creates curium.
What element does thorium 230 decay when it emits an alpha particle?
When thorium-230 decays by emitting an alpha particle, it transforms into radium-226. This decay process reduces the mass number by 4 and the atomic number by 2.
