199. 26Si  --->  26Al  +  __ + energy    This nuclear reaction is an example of a(n)
    
A. alpha decay 26Si14  --->  26Al13  +  0e+1  +  energy

Sum of Mass Numbers must be constant
Sum of Atomic Numbers must be constant

Atomic Number should be on the left side but that are formatting problems.

Alpha Decay           Reactant --->  Product  +  4He2  +  energy   

Positron Decay       Reactant --->  Product  +  0e+1  +  energy   

Beta Decay             Reactant --->  Product  +  0e-1  +  energy   

Electron Capture     Reactant +  0e-1  --->  Product  +  energy   

The Correct Answer is B.

B. positron decay
C. beta decay
D. electron capture
