Question
During a negative beta decay:
  1. An atomic electron is ejected.
  2. An electron which is already present within the nucleus is ejected.
  3. A neutron in the nucleus decays emitting an electron.
  4. A proton in the nucleus decays emitting an electron.

Answer

  1. A neutron 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.
