It would make more sense if you write this (although icorrect) as
6C14 ==> 7N14 + -1e0
It's tough to write it correctly but the best I can do on the computer is this.
<sub>6</sub><sup>14</sup>C. The best way to make sense is this but it's not scientifically correct.
<sub>6</sub>C<sup>14</sup>. But to your problem. You're right. It is b or c. So what's keeping you from the decision? You could look on Google and it's easy to find exactly the charge and mass of beta plus and beta minus. You need to know what beta plus and beta minus are. It's easy enough. beta particles are electrons. That simple. So you write an e for electrons. Beta minus tells you the electron has a - charge and you know electrons have essentially no mass so a beta minues is a -1e0. That reads -1 charge, electron, zero mass. The beta plus is the opposite. It's +1e0.

Yeah I figured it was beta plus, I just wanted to double check.

Beta minus*

Which is it? Perhaps I didn't do a very good job of explaining. It is beta minus. Did you have trouble understanding what I wrote?What could I have done better?
