Question

During a negative beta decay.
  1. An atomic electron is ejected
  2. An electron which is already present within the nucleus is ejected
  3. A neutron in the nucleus decays emitting an electron
  4. A part of the binding energy of the nucleus is converted into an electron

A
A neutron in the nucleus decays emitting an electron
B
An atomic electron is ejected
C
An electron which is already present within the nucleus is ejected
D
A part of the binding energy of the nucleus is converted into an electron
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Negative β decay is expressed by the equation
np+e+¯¯¯v.
So, a neutron decays into a proton and a negative beta particle (i.e electron) along with a anti-neutrino are emitted.
