Complete each of the following nuclear reactions by determining the missing particle, then name that particle("alpha particle" or "uranium-233", 6c > ^14 7n + + ^0 -1 e > ^40 18ar

Answer :

Thus, the Beta minus decay of carbon-14 reaction is:

   Beta particle

The electron capture equation for the given reaction is:

Explanation :

Beta minus decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a neutrons gets converted to proton, an electron and anti-neutrino. In this the atomic mass number remains same.

The beta minus decay equation is represented as,

(A is the atomic mass number and Z is the atomic number)

Thus, the Beta minus decay of carbon-14 reaction is:

   Beta particle

Electron capture : In this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. Simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. Mass number does not change in this process.

The electron capture equation is represented as,  

The electron capture equation for the given reaction is:
