Write the decay equations and expression for the disintegration energy` Q` of the following decay: `beta-` decay,electron capture.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding the decay equations and expressions for the disintegration energy \( Q \) for beta minus decay and electron capture, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Beta Minus Decay Equation In beta minus decay, a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, and an electron (beta particle) along with an antineutrino is emitted. The decay can be represented as follows: \[ \text{n} \rightarrow \text{p} + e^- + \bar{\nu}_e \] ...
