The boron isotope decays into the carbon isotope . What kind of particle is emitted in the decay?
a. A beta particle is emitted.
b. An alpha particle is emitted.
c. A gamma ray is emitted.
d. A positron is emitted.
Boron - 11 decays to Carbon - 11 by - decay.
In - decay, a neutron decays to produce a proton, an electron and an anti neutrino.
An electron or positron emitted in decay is called a beta particle.
Here, an electron is emitted.
So, option A is correct.

The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archeological artifacts. 14C ( mass 2.34×10−26kg) decays by the process known as beta decay in which the nucleus emits an electron (the beta particle) and a subatomic particle called a neutrino. In one such decay, the electron and the neutrino are emitted at right angles to each other. The electron ( mass 9.11×10−31kg ) has a speed of 5.7×107 m/s and the neutrino has a momentum of 6.9×10−24 kg⋅m/s ....
