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.

Assertion :Radioactive nuclei emit beta^-1 particles. Reason :Electrons exist inside the nucleus.

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

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.

Name the fundamental particle which exists in the nucleus

Some radioactive nucleus may emit.

A certain radioactive nucleus emits a particle that leaves its mass number unchanged, but increases its atomic number by one. Identify the particle and write its symbol.

In the disintegration of a radioactive element, alpha - and beta -particles are evolved from the nucleus. ._(0)n^(1) rarr ._(1)H^(1) + ._(-1)e^(0) + Antineutrino + Energy 4 ._(1)H^(1) rarr ._(2)He^(4) + 2 ._(+1)e^(0) + Energy Then, emission of these particles changes the nuclear configuration and results into a daughter nuclide. Emission of an alpha -particles results into a daughter element having atomic number lowered by 2 and mass number by 4, on the other hand, emission of a beta -particle yields an element having atomic number raised by 1. How many alpha - and beta -particle should be emitted from a radioactive nuclide so that an isobar is formed?

Assertion : In a radioactive disintegration, an electron is emitted by the nucleus. Reason : Electrons are always present inside the nucleus.
