when a nuclide undergoes a beta
decay to form iodine-110, the parent nuclide must have an atomic number less
than the daughter nuclide by one while the mass number remain the same. in a
beta decay the number of protons increases by one while the number of neutrons
decreases by one, the nuclide formed is xenon-110
as shown in the equation below
11053I → 11054Xe + 0-1e
