    \[\beta \]-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 :

    \[\text{ }\!\!\beta\!\!\text{ -}\]emission takes place from a radioactive nucleus as\[_{15}^{32}P\xrightarrow[{}]{-\beta }\,_{16}^{32}S{{+}_{-1}}{{e}^{0}}+\overline{v}\]where v is the anti-neutrino. In \[{{\beta }^{+}}\] decay a positron is emitted as \[_{11}^{22}Na\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\,_{10}^{22}Ne{{+}_{+1}}{{e}^{0}}+v\] where v is the neutrino.
