A) \[{{\beta }^{-}}\] emission
B) \[\alpha \]-emission
C) \[{{\beta }^{+}}\] emission
D) K electron capture
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
n/p ratio of \[_{13}^{24}Na=13/11\] ie, greater than unity. To achieve stability, it would tend to become unity. This can happen if n decreases or p increases. To do so, a neutron changes into proton and an electron (\[\beta \]-particle) which is emitted. \[_{0}^{1}n\xrightarrow{{}}_{1}^{1}p{{+}_{-1}}{{e}^{0}}({{\beta }^{-}})\]You need to login to perform this action.
