← ScienceWhich consequence results when an iodine-131 sample decays?
A)Emitted beta radiation decreases sample mass✓
B)Sample half-life increases gradually
C)Neutron count remains permanently stable
D)Chemical properties of sample are unchanged
💡 Explanation
Beta decay emits an electron, reducing atomic Iodine-131 mass, because this transmutation changes Iodine-131 to Xenon-131 via radioactive decay. Therefore, option A is correct, rather than others with conservative element properties based on stable nuclear content.
