    When a neutron is disintegrated to give a \[\beta \]-particle,

    A)  a neutrino alone is emitted

    B)  a proton and neutrino are emitted

    C)  a proton alone is emitted

    D)  a proton and an antineutrino are emitted

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    A beta minus particle \[({{\beta }^{-}})\] is an electron. Emission of \[{{\beta }^{-}}\] involves transformation of a neutron into a proton, an electron and a third particle called antineutrino \[(\overline{v}).\] \[_{0}{{n}^{1}}{{=}_{1}}{{p}^{1}}{{+}_{-1}}{{\beta }^{0}}+\overline{v}\]
