146C→147N+0−1e Which type of radioactive decay does the equation model? (1 point) Responses alpha decay alpha decay beta-plus decay beta-plus decay gamma decay gamma decay beta-minus decay

Answer 1

The equation \( ^{146}\text{C} \rightarrow ^{147}\text{N} + 0^{-1}\text{e} \) represents beta-minus decay.

In this process, a neutron in the carbon-14 nucleus is converted into a proton, which increases the atomic number by one, creating nitrogen-14 while emitting a beta particle (which is an electron, denoted as \(0^{-1}\text{e}\)).
