During a beta decay

A

An atomic electron is ejected

B

An electron which is already present within the nucleus is ejected.

C

A neutron in the nucleus decays emitting an electron

D

A part of the binding energy is converted into electron.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
( c) Negative `beta-decay` is expressed by the equation
`n = p^+ + p^- + v^-`
`gamma-rays` are highly penetrating.
