Answer: Superscript 32 subscript 15 upper P right arrow superscript 32 subscript 16 upper S plus superscript 0 subscript negative 1 e.

Step-by-step explanation:

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

The general representation of beta minus emission is :


_A^Z\textrm{X}\rightarrow _(A+1)^Z\textrm{Y}+_(-1)^0e

The representation of beta decay of phosphorous- 32 :


_(15)^(32)\textrm{P}\rightarrow _(16)^(32)\textrm{S}+_(-1)^0e

Superscript 32 subscript 15 upper P right arrow superscript 32 subscript 16 upper S plus superscript 0 subscript negative 1 e.
