decays
according to
The
maximum energy of the emitted positron is 0-960 MeV.
Given the
mass values :
Calculate Q and
compare it with the maximum energy of the positron emitted.
Answer:
The equation of the decay
process is
Here 
stands
for the nuclear mass of the element or particle. In order to express the Q
value in terms of the atomic masses, 
mass has to be
subtracted from atomic mass of 
and 
mass has to
be subtracted from atomic mass of 
(Because their atoms
contain outside electrons). Therefore, in terms of the atomic mass 
and 
This energy is
comparable to actual energy released in the decay process.
