Question

alpha particle emission quick check
is beta decay a form of nuclear fission? (1 point)
yes, it is because the mass number changes.
yes, it is because the atomic number changes.
no, it is not because the mass number does not change.
no, it is not because the atomic number does not change.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission involves splitting of a heavy - nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei with a significant change in mass number. In beta decay, a neutron changes into a proton and an electron (beta particle), and the mass number remains the same. So beta decay is not nuclear fission.

Answer:

No, it is not because the mass number does not change.
