Radioactive decay:
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of the nucleus of an atom along with the release of energy and matter from the nucleus.
Beta Decay:
Radioactive decay is when the parent nucleus emits an electron and an antineutrino and converts a neutron to a proton.
The equation for β-decay is given by:
\(_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}\textrm{Y}+e^{-} +\bar{\nu }\)
Where X is the parent nucleus, Y is the daughter nucleus, A is the atomic mass, Z is the atomic number, e- is the electron, \(\bar\nu\) is the antineutrino.
