When a beta^(-) particle is emitted from a nucleus, the neutrons-proton ratio:

In which of the following transformers, the beta -particles are emitted? a. Proton ot neutron b. Neutron to proton c. Proton to proton d. Neutron to neutron

All nuclei consist of two types of particles- protaon and neutrons. Nuclear force is the strongest froce. Stability of nucleus is determined by the neutron - proton ratio or mass defect or binding energy per nucleus or packing fraction. Shape of nucleus is calculated by quadrupole moment. Spin of nucleus depends on even or odd mass number. Volume of nucleus depends on the mass number. Whole mass of the atom (nearly 99 % ) is centered at the nucleus. Magnetic moment of the nucleus is measured in terms of the nuclear magnetons. Volume (V) of the nucleus is related to mass number (A) as

A : During radioactive disintegration an alpha -particle and a beta -particle do not emit simultaneously from any nucleus. R : An alpha -particle emits from a nucleus when the N/Z ratio is less than the stability range (where N=number of neutrons and Z=number of protons in a nucleus. )

An atomic nucleus A is composed of 84 protons and 128 neutrons. The nucleus A emits and alpha particle and is transformed into a nucleus B. (i) What is the composition of B ? (ii) The nucleus B emits a beta particle and is transformed into a nucleus C. What is the composition of C? (iii) What is mass number of the nucleus A ? (iv) Does the composition of C change if it emits gamma radiations ?

In a radioactive decay, a nucleus is transformed into another with the emission of a positron. In this process the neutron-proton ratio

A proton and an alpha -particle start from rest in a uniform electric field, then the ratio of times of flight to travel same distance in the field is
