Which decay product results when unstable xenon undergoes beta-minus decay?

💡 Explanation

Unstable Xenon undergoing beta-minus decay emits an electron and an antineutrino due to the weak interaction; therefore, a neutron converts into a proton in the nucleus, thus resulting in these particles, rather than an alpha emission or gamma emission.
