← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a Potassium-40 undergoes beta decay?
A)Calcium-40 creation and electron emission✓
B)Argon-40 creation and positron emission
C)Stable Chlorine-36 is synthesized
D)Nuclear fission splits the atom
💡 Explanation
Calcium-40 production and an electron emission occurs because beta decay is the process whereby Neutron transforms into a proton which releases a fast-moving electron; therefore the transmutation yields Calcium-40, rather than other options, as it's nuclear composition is altered.
