Question

Radiation expected from carbon 14 alpha beta or gamma

Answer 1

$\huge{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \underline{ \mathbb{ \red{ANSWER}}}}}}$

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are both stable, while carbon-14 is unstable and has a half-life of 5,730 ± 40 years. Carbon-14 decays into nitrogen-14 through beta decay. A gram of carbon containing 1 atom of carbon-14 per 10^12 atoms will emit ~0.2 beta particles per second.
