Which decay product results when unstable xenon undergoes beta-minus decay?

A)An electron and antineutrino
B)An alpha particle emission
C)A positron and a neutrino
D)Release of a gamma photon

💡 Explanation

Unstable Xenon undergoing beta-minus decay emits an electron and an antineutrino due to the weak interaction; therefore, a neutron converts into a proton in the nucleus, thus resulting in these particles, rather than an alpha emission or gamma emission.
