Which outcome occurs when a Carbon-14 contaminant degrades?

💡 Explanation

Beta decay occurs because neutron to proton ratio spontaneously transmutes excess neutrons to protons thereby emitting beta particles and antineutrinos. Beta decay transforms Carbon-14 into Nitrogen-14, rather than fission or methane clathrate formation.
