The radioactive decay of ""(35)X^(88) by...

The radioactive decay of `""_(35)X^(88)` by a `beta`-emission produces an unstable nucleus which spontaneously emits a neutron. The final product is

A

`""_(37)X^(88)`

B

`""_(35)X^(89)`

C

`""_(34)Z^(88)`

D

`""_(36)W^(87)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`""_(35)X^(88) overset(-beta)to ""_(36)W^(88) to ""_(36)W^(87) + ""_(0)n ^1`
