Why or how, do electrons receive a positive charge during beta decay?

Beta decay occurs when a nucleus is unstable because it has too many or too few neutrons relative to protons. The nucleus emits a beta particle and energy.  In beta-minus decay, a neutron breaks down to a proton and an electron, and the electron is emitted from the nucleus.

Explanation:

the correct option is c.

isotopes refers to different forms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass number as a result of difference in their neutron numbers. isotopes have different relative atomic mass but share the same chemical properties.
