Answer:

Beta emission

Step-by-step explanation:

In beta emission, a neutron is converted into a proton thereby emitting an electron and a neutrino. A neutrino is a particle that serves to balance the spins.

When a nucleus undergoes beta emission, the mass number of the parent and daughter nuclei remain the same while the atomic number of the daughter nucleus is greater than that of its parent by one unit.

Hence, in beta emission, the daughter nucleus is found one pace to the right of the parent in the periodic table.
