Radioactive nuclei emit beta^-1 particle...

Radioactive nuclei emit `beta^-1` particles.
Electrons exist inside the nucleus.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
For a `beta^(-)` decay.
`_(0)^(1)to _(1)^(1)p + _(-1)^(0)e`
`therefore` Electrons do not exist inside the nucleus.

The electrons cannot exist inside the nucleus because

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

A: In beta -decay an electron is emitted by the nucleus R: Electrons are not present inside the nucleus.

Some radioactive nucleus may emit

Assertion (A) : Nucleus of the atom does not contain electrons, yet it emits beta- particles in the form of electrons. Reason (R): In the nucleus , protons and neutrons exchange mesons frequently.

Explain how radio-active nucleus can emit beta -particles even though nuclei do not contain these particles. Hence explain why the mass number of radioactive nuclide does not change during beta - decay.

Some radioactive nucleus may emit.
