Calcium 44 emits a beta particle, what element results?

Question

Need to show the equation to solve this proble.

Answer 1

During beta emission, an excess neutron in the nucleus becomes a proton and a negatively charged electron is released.  The element is moved one unit up in atomic number while keeping the same mass number.  So just look up which element is after Ca in the periodic table.

Answer 2

⁴⁴Ca ==> ⁴⁴Sc + ^oe

^{20                21        -1}
