Which outcome results when electron capture occurs in beryllium-7?

💡 Explanation

Electron capture triggers nuclear transmutation because a proton converts into a neutron via Weak Interaction, resulting in lithium-7 plus neutrino emission. Electron emission does not occur; therefore, beryllium-8 or gamma ray absorption are not formed, rather, lithium formation occurs.
