Question
Chapter 20, Problem 2STP
To determine
The effect on a nucleus during beta decay is to be explained.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 2STP
D
Explanation of Solution
During beta decay one of the proton or neutron is transformed into the other.
Conclusion: (a) is incorrect, because in beta decay if number of protons increases then number of neutron decreases.
(b) is incorrect, because in beta decay if number of neutrons decreases then number of protons also decreases.
(c) is incorrect, because both number of proton and neutron transformed into other.
