Respuesta :
When carbon-14 undergoes beta decay, it becomes nitrogen-14 and releases a beta particle. This decay happens when there are more protons or neutrons and that one of these protons are being transformed into a neutron or one of the neutrons transformed into a proton. It produces t he beta particle and a new substance.
Answer: nitrogen-14 + a beta particle
Explanation: General representation of an element is given as:[tex]_Z^A\textrm{X}[/tex]
where,
Z represents Atomic number
A represents Mass number
X represents the symbol of an element
Beta-decay: In this process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units and no mass.
