carbon-14 undergoes radioactive decay in the reaction above. determine the type of radiation emitted in this reaction and describe what is happening to the nucleus during this reaction.

a) alpha radiation is emitted in this equation because the atomic number increases (from 6 to 7). this means a helium atom has been emitted from the nucleus.

b) beta radiation is emitted in this equation because the atomic number increases (from 6 to 7). this means a neutron has decayed into a proton, which occurs by emitting an electron.

c) beta radiation is emitted in this equation because the atomic number increases (from 6 to 7). this means a neutron has decayed into a electron, which occurs by emitting an proton.

d) gamma radiation is emitted in this equation because the atomic number increases (from 6 to 7). this means a neutron has decayed into a proton, which occurs by emitting an electron.
