Rationale for change

Very few people get QId: 404028 (4908855) correct. It asks:

Suppose a 40K+ ion undergoes β− decay. Which of the following changes to the electron configuration of the resulting isotopes is most likely to occur after the decay?

In our text section here we omit the fact that the neutron decays into both a proton and electron. The current extra section wording is vague and could imply that the emitted electron comes from the atom's orbitals. We want to be very clear that this electron is produced by the neutron and then emitted or else it becomes very difficult to predict these types of problems.
