Quote by: phoenix_fire P.S. (to Chained) Carbon 14 would not decay "by electron emission" to Nitrogen 14. Basic high school chemistry can tell you that the difference between elements is in the number of protons. The number of electrons determines the difference between isotopes of the same element. Your scientific veracity is on par with the veracity of your theology. |
But, basic high school physics will tell you that beta particle decay is nuclear electron emission. One neutron in Carbon 14 emits an electron and becomes a proton, resulting in Nitrogen 14.
Sorry, you're wrong.
