Question: What particle is released when ga-75 decays to ge-75?
When Ga-75 decays to Ge-75, a beta (β-) particle is released. Beta decay occurs when a neutron in the nucleus of an atom is converted into a proton and an electron. The electron (β- particle) is then emitted from the nucleus, along with an antineutrino. This process results in the conversion of a neutron into a proton, changing the atomic number of the atom from one element to another. In the case of Ga-75 decaying to Ge-75, the atomic number increases by one, changing from 31 to 32.
