Answer:
No additional particle was produced during the decay.
Explanation:
The equation of decay is given as;
¹⁰₆C + ⁰₋₁ e → ¹⁰₅B + x
To identify x, we have to calculate its atomic and mass number.
In the reactants side;
Atomic Number = 6 + (-1) = 5
Mass number = 10 + 0 = 10
In the products side;
Atomic Number = 5 + x
Mass Number = 10 + x
Generally, reactant = product
Atomic Number;
5 = 5 + x
x = 5 - 5 = 0
Mass Number;
10 = 10 + x
x = 10 - 10 = 0
This means no additional particle was produced during the decay.
