← ScienceWhich outcome commonly results when metastable isotopes beta-decay?
A)Emission of ionizing radiation✓
B)Chemical bond stabilization
C)Increase in atomic weight
D)Reduction of material density
💡 Explanation
The emission of ionizing radiation occurs from beta-decay because weak interaction converts a neutron to proton plus electron and antineutrino. Therefore, ionizing radiation is emitted rather than chemical stability changing or density reducing.
