Which consequence results when protactinium-234 undergoes beta minus decay?

💡 Explanation

Beta minus decay causes a neutron to convert to a proton and electron; therefore, an electron is emitted and the atomic number increases via the beta decay mechanism while the mass number is nearly unchanged, rather than emitting other particles.
