During negative beta decay, mass number remains the same. Hence given mass number is 27. Hence daughter nuclie will have mass number of 27 which is Al.
Hence option C is correct.

Magnesium-27 is an isotope of magnesium that undergoes beta negative decay. The malf-life of magnesium-27 is 9.45 min. The daughter nucleus of this decay is initially produced in a metastable, excited state. Three gamma photons may be emitted as the mucleus makes transitions from this excited state to the ground state. These ransitions are shown in the diagram below. - Metastable state 0.1707 MeV Intermediate state 0.8438 MeV Ground state The longest wavelength of gamma radiation that can be emitted...
(Figure 1) shows the decay scheme for 137Cs, which has two possible beta decay modes. The first, labeled β1, is a decay directly to the ground state of 137Ba. The second beta decay (β2) is to an excited state 137Ba∗. This excited state subsequently undergoes gamma decay to the ground state. In beta decay, the maximum possible energy of the emitted beta particle is equal to the difference in energy between the initial and final states of the nucleus. The...
Use the following information to answer the next question Food irradiation is sometimes used as a means of preserving perishable foods. A 320 g mass of cobalt-60 is used as a source of gamma radiation in an irradiation device. The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.3 years. As the radiation released by the cobalt-60 declines, the device becomes less efficient. The cobalt-60 also undergoes beta negative decay. 3. Complete the following: Determine the amount of cobalt-60 remaining in the device after...

Activity 27-7. Nuclear decays II [Accompanies Section 27-6] (a) Rank the following decays in order of the change in atomic number Z that occurs in the decaying nucleus, from most positive (greatest increase in Z) to most negative (greatest decrease in Z). If any two decays cause the same change in Z, state this. Explain how you made your ranking. (i) Alpha decay (emission of a He nucleus of charge +2e) (ii) Beta-minus decay (emission of an electron of charge...
