Identify the type of decay or capture process: Vanadium-50 can undergo alpha decay, beta decay, or electron capture. Each process involves a different change in the nucleus.
Examine the nuclear reactions: The first image shows electron capture, where a proton in the nucleus captures an electron, converting into a neutron and resulting in Titanium-50.
Analyze the second image: This shows beta decay, where a neutron in the nucleus converts into a proton, emitting a beta particle (electron), resulting in Chromium-50.
Consider the third image: This represents alpha decay, where the nucleus emits an alpha particle (Helium nucleus), resulting in Scandium-46.
Review the fourth image: This shows a process similar to positron emission, but with an incorrect electron notation. Positron emission would involve a proton converting into a neutron, emitting a positron, resulting in Chromium-50.
