Which represents the balanced nuclear equation for the beta minus decay of Co-60?
60/27co----60/26fe+0/+1e

The beta decay is a type of radioactive decay that happens due to the weak force. What happens is that a neutron is not stable in the nucleus and it decays into a proton and an electron (in the beta minus decay). In the beta plus decay, what happens is that a proton becomes a neutron by absorbing an antielectron.

For this specific problem, we get that the massive number of the nucleus remains the same, since both protons and neutrons count for 1. However, the atomic number of the nucleus is increased by 1, since protons increase by 1. Also, an electron is given off and an antineutrino too. Neutrinos and antineutrinos in such reactions carry out momentum and remaining kinetic energy.
So, let us see, what element has an atomic number of 28? It is nickel.
Hence, the full equation is:



(In the beta plus decay, the products would have been a Fe nucleus, an antielectron and a neutrino).

The answer is b on ed genuity guys. brainliest please/
