Answer : The balanced nuclear equations of each process.
The nuclide decay of [tex]_{35}^{80}\textrm{Br}[/tex] by [tex]\beta ^{-}[/tex] decay is as follows:
[tex]_{35}^{80}\textrm{Br}\rightarrow _{-1}^{0}\beta + _{36}^{80}\textrm{Kr}[/tex]
The nuclide decay of [tex]_{35}^{80}\textrm{Br}[/tex] by the electron capture is as follows:
[tex]_{35}^{80}\textrm{Br} + _{-1}^{0}\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{34}^{80}\textrm{Se}[/tex]
Explanation :
- Beta decay is the process that unstable atoms can use to become more stable atoms. There are two types of Beta decay, Beta-plus and Beta-minus.
- In Beta-minus decay, a neutron in an atom's convert into proton, an electron and an antineutrino.
- Electron capture is the process that unstable atoms can use to become more stable atoms.
- In Electron capture, an electron in an atom's inner shellis drawn into the nucleus where it combines with a proton and forming a neutron & neutrino.
