what particle is emitted in the following radioactive decay 2714si→2713al



the correct equation should be 27Si → 27Al + +e
the decay above is a positron emission. a proton change to neutron , the atomic number increase by one while the atomic mass remain the same. the particle emitted is a positron and an electron neutrino. positron is the particle emitted.
A positron is a particle with same mass as electron but having a positive charge
