60m27Co → 6027Co Predict the type of radioactive emission produced from the decay of metastable cobalt-60 to cobalt-60. Describe this type of emission and its reaction to an electric field. A) During the radioactive decay, alpha particles are released. These positive particles are attracted to the negative plate in the electric field and represent a ground energy level. B) Beta particles are released during the radioactive decay. These negative particles are attracted to the positive plate in the electric field and represent an excited energy state. C) Radioactive gamma decay is produced by the reaction. This neutral electromagnetic radiation allows the isotope to return to its ground state and is not attracted to the electric field. D) Both types of radioactive emissions, particles and electromagnetic radiation, are produced during this decay. None of these are attracted to the electric field and both present an intermediate level. Eliminate
