Question

In radio-pharmacy Alpha, Beta-plus, Beta-minus and Gamma decay are all different forms of radio-Active decay. When Uranium-238 (with atomic number 92) emits an Beta-minus particle, the resulting nucleus has atomic number

 
  • A. 93
  • B. 90
  • C. 91
  • D. 92
Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution

  • Beta-minus decay. 

In Beta minus decay neutron is converted into proton and electron with emission of anti neutrino particle.

  • General equation of of Beta minus decay

          AzX → AZ+1X′ + e− + νe

                or

  •       n → p + e−+ νe
  • where Ve is anti neutrino particle.
