- An atomic electron is ejected.
- An electron which is already present within the nucleus is ejected.
- A neutron in the nucleus decays emitting an electron.
- A proton in the nucleus decays emitting an electron.
Explanation:
Negative beta decay is given as
$\text{n}\rightarrow\text{p + e}^-+\bar{\text{v}}$
Neutron decays to produce proton, electron and anti-neutrino.
