    \[\beta \]-decay means emission of electron from

    A)  innermost electron orbit

    B)  a stable nucleus

    C)  outermost electron orbit

    D)  radioactive nucleus

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\beta -\]emission takes place from a radioactive nucleus as                 \[_{15}^{32}P\xrightarrow{-\beta }_{16}^{31}S{{+}_{-1}}{{e}^{0}}+\overline{v}\] where\[\overline{v}\]is the anti-neutrino. In\[{{\beta }^{+}}\]decay a positron is emitted as                 \[_{11}^{22}Na\xrightarrow{{}}_{11}^{22}Ne{{+}_{+1}}{{e}^{0}}+v\] where\[v\]is the neutrino.
