Consider a sample of a pure beta-active material:
✓
Answer
The active nucleus changes to one of its isobars after the beta decay.
Explanation:
In a beta decay, either a neutron is converted to a proton or a proton is converted to a neutron such that the mass number does not change. Also, the number of the nucleons present in the nucleus remains the same. Thus, the active nucleus gets converted to one of its isobars after beta decay.
