A radioactive nucleus emits a beta particle. The parent and daughter nuclei are:

A

Isomers

B

Isotopes

C

Isobars

D

Isotones

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When the radioactive nucleus ,`"_ZX^A` emits a `beta` particle, the daughter nucleus is `""_(Z+1)X^A`
Thus the parent and daughter nuclei have the same mass number but different atomic numbers. Hence they are isobars.
