Which consequence results when carbon-14 undergoes beta decay?

💡 Explanation

During beta decay, a neutron converts into a proton emitting an electron and antineutrino. The atomic number increases because beta decay changes carbon into nitrogen-14; therefore, nitrogen presence is observed, rather than the isotope remaining stable.
