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`
