identify the missing isotope in the nuclear reaction below: 131 53I → ? + β




131 53I → ?  + β
The equation above depicts a beta emission, the atomic number increases by one while the atomic mass remain the same.
 therefore , the missing nuclide is xenon-131 and the equation will be  131 53I →  131 54Xe+ β
