Question

32) Wha 34) Which three of the following statements are true of beta [B] particle emission? 13 points) a) The particle produced is a high-energy photon b) The daughter nucleus has an atomic number 4 less than that of the parent nucleus c) The daughter nucleus is created by the conversion of a neutron into a proton d) The parent nucleus has an atomic number 2 greater than the daughter nucleus e). The particle produced is an anti-electron f) The parent nucleus has a mass number 4 greater than the daughter nucleus 9) The particle produced is a high-energy electron h) There is no change of mass number, but the atomic number increases by 1 hoon collo

Answer 1

In the given question; (c), (g) and (h).

$\beta$ emission occurs when a neutron breaks into a proton and an electron. Therefore (c) and (g) are true. In this conversion of neutron to proton, atomic number increases by 1. So (h) is true.
