Nuclear
reaction: ¹⁴C → ¹⁴N + e⁻(electron) +
ve(electron antineutrino).
Beta decay is radioactive decay in which a beta
ray and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.There are two types of
beta decay: beta minus and beta plus.
In beta minus decay,
neutron is converted to a proton and an electron and an electron antineutrino and atomic number is increased by one.
