Which of the following statements in regarding radiation is true?

a)When α-decay occurs, the atomic mass will decrease but the element will stay the same.

b)Neutrinos have a charge equal to zero and have very little mass; they are detected in α-radiation

c)Electrons edited in β-decay are not orbital electrons , rather produced within the nucleus from a neutron changing into a proton.

d)?-ray carries a positive charge and may occur from a violent collision with another particle.

thank u so much！ 6. One form of nuclear radiation, beta decay, occurs when a neutron changes into a proton, an electron, and a neutral particle called an antineutrino: n → pt + e + De, where ve is the symbol for an antineutrino. When this change happens to a neutron within the nucleus of an atom, the proton remains behind in the nucleus while the electron and neutrino are ejected from the nucleus. The ejected electron is called a...
