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

A

Isotopes

B

Isotones

C

Isomers

D

Isobars

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
A nucleus is represented as `""_(Z) X^(A)`
Isotopes have same Z.
Isobars have same A.
Beta particle `= ""_(-1)beta^(0)`
By beta ejection, there is no change in A. Hence Isobars are produced by beta emission.
