Describe the type of radioactive emission produced from the decay of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 and predict its reaction to an electric field.

A beta emission(negatron)

Explanation:

1. A negatron resembles an orbital electron. It is represented as β⁻.

A negatron has a mass number of 0 but with a charge of -1

The decay of C-14 to N-14 can be depicted below:

¹⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ₋₁⁰e

Both the mass number and atomic number is balanced according to the reaction.

2. In an electric field, the emission produced would be deflected towards the positive pole because it is negatively charged.

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
