Chapter 15, Problem 24QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The particle emitted by a nucleus that undergoes the given transformation is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

In positron emission, the mass number does not change and atomic number decreases by 1. This converts a proton into a neutron. In the process, the mass number as well as the atomic number is conserved. The mass number of the reactant is equal to the sum of the mass numbers of the products.
