Strontium 92 undergoing beta decay. Express your answer as a nuclear equation.

 The nuclear equation for the beta decay is

⁹²₃₈St>⁹²₃₉Y +     ⁰₋₁e

Explanation:

Beta decay(beta-minus and beta-plus.) occurs due to the fact that some atoms are unstable and to become stable must undergo a decay.

The beta decay that occurs in Strontium  is a beta-minus decay,where it changes to another element since its atom gains a proton

A beta decay (beta minus) occurs when an atom emits beta particle (   ⁰₋₁e) Here in Strontium  undergoing a beta(minus) decay, the mass number remains the same but a proton was gained. Hence the new  isotope is  Yttrium ⁹²₃₉Y .

⁹²₃₈St>⁹²₃₉Y +     ⁰₋₁e

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
