Select Beta decay from the Type of decay menu. Check that Carbon is selected.Question: How does beta decay change the nucleus of a radioactive atom?1. Observe : Click Play and watch the animation.A. What happens to the decaying neutron during beta decay? It turned into a proton.B. What is emitted from the nucleus during beta decay?During beta decay, it releases electron and gamma rays.C. What is the mass number and charge of the emitted particle? Mass number: 0u or 0amu Charge: -12. Predict : During beta decay, a neutron is transformed into a proton and an electron (the beta particle ), which is emitted. Gamma rays are often emitted during beta decay as well. How will beta decay affect the atomic number and mass number of the atom?The atomic number will increase by 1 because a neutron turns into a proton and the atomic mass will stay the same.3. Calculate : Turn on Write equation . Fill in the first set of boxes with the mass
