The isotope _(5)^(12) B having a mass 12.014 u undergoes beta - decay to _(6)^(12) C _(6)^(12) C has an excited state of the nucleus ( _(6)^(12) C ^(**) at 4.041 MeV above its ground state if _(5)^(12)E decay to _(6)^(12) C ^(**) , the maximum kinetic energy of the beta - particle in unit of MeV is (1 u = 931.5MeV//c^(2) where c is the speed of light in vaccuum) .

When a nucleus with atomic number Z and mass number A undergoes a radioactive decay process, (i) Both Z and A will decrease, if the process is alpha decay (ii) Z will decrease but A will not change, if the process is beta^(+)- decay (iii) Z will increase but A will not change, if the process is beta^(-)- decay (iv) Z and A will remain uncharged, if the prices is gamma decay

The nucleus ""_(10)^(23)Ne decays by beta^(-) – mission. Write down the beta -decay equation and determine the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted. Given that: m (""_(10)^(23)Ne ) = 22.994466 u m (""_(11)^(23)Na ) = 22.989770 u.

Consider the decay of a free neutron at rest : n to p +e^(-) Show that the two body decay of this type must necessary give an electron of fixed energy and therefore cannot account distribution in the beta - decay of a neutron or a nucleous as shown in figure . [ Note : The simple result of this exercise was one among the several arguments advanced by W . Pauli to perdict the existence of a third particle in the decay products of beta - decay . This particle is known as neutrino spin 1/2 ( like e^(-) p or n ) but is neutral ad either massless or having an extremely small mass (compared to the mass of electron) and which interacts very weakly with matter . The correct decay process of neutron is : n to p+e(-)+v)
