Which missing item would complete this beta decay reaction?

The question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below:

Correct Answer is : 54 131Xe

Reason:
Emission of beta particle from radioactive material increases atomic number by one, but atomic mass number donot change.

In present case, the reactant is 53 131 I. When, iodine emits beta particle i.e. electron, it atomic number increases by one. Hence, it gets converted into Xe. Atomic number of Xenon is 54.

The equation must include the parent and the daughter nucleus as well as the particle emitted.

What is beta decay?

A beta decay is said to occur when an electron is emitted from an atom. In this case, the daughter nucleus is greater in atomic number than the parent nucleus by one unit.

The question is incomplete. However, the equation must include the parent and the daughter nucleus as well as the particle emitted.
