Which best describes a beta particle that is emitted during nuclear decay?
a. a high-energy photon
b. a boron nucleus
c. an electron
d. a helium nucleus

The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

A beta particle is released when a nucleus undergoes a beta decay process. In this process, a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron. The electron released is known as beta particle only.

The equation that represents beta decay process is:

The charge that this particle carries is -1 and it has a mass of 0 units. It is represented as of

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

let that person have a turn to speak : )
