← ScienceWhich outcome occurs alongside beta minus decay in iodine-131?
A)Neutrino carries excess energy away✓
B)Increased probability of alpha decay'
C)Gamma emission ceases entirely
D)Decay chain terminates immediately
💡 Explanation
Neutrinos remove excess energy produced along with beta particles because beta decay includes neutrino emission. Therefore, neutrinos are emitted, rather than increased alpha decay probabilities or immediate chain termination, which are separate decay possibilities.
