What type of radiation is carbon emitting in the following equation? 14/6c - 0/-1 + 14/7n a. alpha particles b. beta particles c. gamma rays

Answer is: B. beta particles.

Nuclear reaction: ¹⁴C → ¹⁴N + e⁻ + νe (electron antineutrino).

In beta minus decay (atomic number Z is increased by one, from 6 in carbon to 7 in nitrogen) neutron is converted to a proton and an electron and an electron antineutrino.

Beta decay is radioactive decay in which a beta ray and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.

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.
