During a negative beta decay
- an atomic electron is ejected
- an electron which is already present within the nucleus is ejected
- a neutron in the nucleus decays emitting an electron
- a part of the binding energy of the nucleus is converted into an electron
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
$_0n^1\rightarrow_1H^1+_{-1}e^0+v$
v is antineutrino.

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
The left and right compartments of a thermally isolated container of length $L$ are separated by a thermally conducting, movable piston of area $A$. The left and right compartments are filled with $\frac{3}{2}$ and 1 moles of an ideal gas, respectively. In the left compartment the piston is attached by a spring with spring constant $k$ and natural length $\frac{2L}{5}$. In thermodynamic equilibrium, the piston is at a distance $\frac{L}{2}$ from the left and right edges of the container as shown in the figure. Under the above conditions, if the pressure in the right compartment is $P = \frac{kL}{A} \alpha$, then the value of $\alpha$ is ____

Decay Rate
The disintegration of unstable heavy atomic nuclei into lighter, more stable, atomic nuclei, accompanied in the process by the emission of ionizing radiation (alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays). This is a random process at the atomic level but, given a large number of similar atoms, the decay rate on average is predictable, and is usually measured by the half-life of the substance.
The equation for finding out the decay rate is given below:
