    When a beta\[(\beta )\]negative particle is emitted from a radioactive nucleus, the ratio of the number of neutrons to the number of protons in the resulting nucleus

    A)  decreases         

    B)  remains same

    C)  increases         

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    : Ejection of\[\beta -\]artiple from nucleus is given by \[_{0}{{n}^{1}}{{\to }_{1}}{{H}^{1}}{{+}_{-1}}{{\beta }^{0}}\] This number of neutrons decreases by 1. The number of protons increases by 1 where one \[\beta -\]particle is ejected. \[\therefore \] \[\frac{Number\text{ }of\text{ }neutrons}{Number\text{ }of\text{ }protons}\]decreases.
