Answer:
six beta particles
Explanation:
The atom must have undergone a beta decay. The beta particle it emits would be a positron. A positron resembles an electron but it is positively charged.
A positron has no mass number. It has an atomic number of 1:
⁰₁β is a representation of a positron
When the radioactive element, say X decays by emitting 6 positrons, the atomic number changes to 82 as shown by the element A
₈₈X → ₈₂A + 6⁰₁β + Energy
This obey equation obeys the law of conservation of matter.
