Question

What is the nuclear equation for the decay of carbon-14?

Answer 1

C-14 `->` N-14 + `beta^-`

Explanation:

The carbon-14 atoms undergo beta-minus decay (electron emission) and produce a beta particle and a nitrogen-14 atom.

A neutron in the atom undergoes decay and will produce a proton, electron (the beta particle ) and an electron antineutrino.
