The beta decay rate of the 1[sup +] ground state of [sup 100]Tc to the ground and excited states of [sup 100]Mo and [sup 100]Ru has been calculated using a combination of the charge-conserving and charge-nonconserving modes of the quasiparticle random phase approximation theory. These results, as well as the calculated [ital E]2 decay properties of [sup 100]Mo and [sup 100]Ru, are compared with data. In addition, the two-neutrino double beta decay rates of [sup 100]Mo to the ground state and excited states of [sup 100]Ru are evaluated and analyzed using available experimental data. For completeness, the neutrinoless double beta decay rate of [sup 100]Mo is calculated and used to extract the value of the effective neutrino mass and the parameters of a general weak-interaction Hamiltonian.
