How does   15 32 P { }_{15}^{32} \mathrm{P} 15 32 ​ P   decay?A) Beta particle emissionB) Alpha particle emissionC) Positron particle emissionD) Gamma ray emission

Daniel McCollough · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :   Phosphorus-32 (  15 32 P { }_{15}^{32} \mathrm{P} 15 32 ​ P  ) decays by beta particle emission, transforming into sulfur-32 (  16 32 S { }_{16}^{32} \mathrm{S} 16 32 ​ S  ) by emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino, increasing its atomic number by 1 while its mass number remains unchanged.
