Use the equation to answer the prompt.

10/6C ---> 10/5 B + 0/+1 e
A student claims that the equation models beta-minus decay because the atomic number of the nucleus decreases by one. In one or two sentences, explain the erro in the student's reasoning.

1 answer

The error in the student's reasoning is that the equation provided does not accurately represent beta-minus decay, as it does not include the emission of a high-energy electron (e-) and instead includes a "0/+1 e", which is not a valid representation for an electron emission.
