For10 points—name this radioactive process in which a proton is changed into a neutron by incorporating a negatively-charged particle into the nucleus.
The physical basis for potassium-argon dating of rocks, a neutrino is emitted as the atomic number in the nucleus changes, thus making it possible for unstable carbon-11 nuclei to become boron-11 nuclei.
