Beta decay means the emission of an electron from:
- A
Radioactive nucleus
- B
Innermost electron orbit
- C
A stable nucleus
- D
Outermost electron orbit
This is an understood fact that all radioactive emissions occur from a radioactive nucleus. Radioactive elements emit emissions such as alpha, beta, and gamma radiations.
This is an understood fact that all radioactive emissions occur from a radioactive nucleus. Radioactive elements emit emissions such as alpha, beta, and gamma radiations.
Innermost shells are the most stable and do not emit any kind of radiation.
Only an unstable nucleus emits radiation.
The outermost electron orbit does not emit beta radiations.
