Question

Oxygen decays to form nitrogen. 15 8 O → 15 7 N + 0 1 e This type of nuclear decay is called .

Answer 1

Hey yall its beta plus decay

Answer 2

Answer: $\beta^+$ decay

Explanation: General representation of an element is given as: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$ where,

Z represents Atomic number

A represents Mass number

X represents the symbol of an element

$\beta^+$:  It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. This is also known as $\beta ^+$-decay. In this the mass number remains same.

$_A^Z\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{+1}^0e$

$_8^{15}\textrm{O}\rightarrow _{7}^{15}\textrm{N}+_{+1}^0\beta$
