1. Investigating "Beta Decay" a. Start on the Single Atom tab - observe the decay of Hydrogen-3 and Carbon- 14. Use
Reset Nucleus to watch the process repeatedly. Write a description of what happens in
the beta decay of an atom. (3 pts)
b. Check your ideas with the "Custom" atom and reflect on your ideas.
New Ideas here: (3 pts)
c. Verify your ideas by using online resources to determine what the differences are
between Hydrogen-3 and Helium-3 as well as Carbon-14 and Nitrogen-14. Also, use
other resources to see what "Beta Decay" means and cite at least one valid source.
Cites here: (2 pts)
d. Practice using your ideas by predicting what would happen if the following undergo beta
decay: (2 pts each)
i, Carbon -10 →
ii. Cesium-137 -
iilThorium-234-
e Practice using your ideas by predicting what would happen Uranium-238 undergoes
alpha decay and then beta decay. (2 pts)
Uranium-238
