Which outcome occurs when a nickel-63 radioisotope undergoes beta decay?

💡 Explanation

Beta decay transforms a neutron into a proton via weak interaction because electron emission reduces nuclear potential energy, therefore nickel-63 becomes cobalt-63, rather than emitting positrons or altering the neutron count.
