Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

What is beta radiation?

A) the emission of two different types of particles from the unstable nuclei of radioactive elements
B) the emission of electromagnetic radiation from the unstable nuclei of radioactive elements
C) the splitting of the unstable nucleus of an atom into two pieces of roughly equal size
D) the emission of electrons from the unstable nuclei of radioactive elements

Answer 1

A beta particle, also called beta ray or beta radiation, is a high-energy, high-speed electron or positron emitted by the radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus during the process of beta decay. There are two forms of beta decay, β− decay and β⁺ decay, which produce electrons and positrons respectively.

Answer 2

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Beta Radiation  is a type of radiation produced when electrons are emitted from the unstable nuclei of radioactive elements. Hope this helps!
