    The nucleus\[{}_{6}{{C}_{12}}\]absorbs an energetic neutron and emits a beta particle\[(\beta )\]. The resulting nucleus is

    A)  \[{}_{7}{{N}^{14}}\]                      

    B)  \[{}_{7}{{N}^{13}}\]

    C)  \[{}_{5}{{B}^{13}}\]                                       

    D)  \[{}_{6}{{C}^{13}}\]

    E)  \[{}_{5}{{B}^{12}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\underset{(Neutron)}{\mathop{{}_{6}{{C}^{12}}+{}_{0}{{n}^{1}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}{}_{7}{{N}^{13}}+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (Beta \\  particle) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{}_{-1}{{e}^{0}}}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (Aanti\text{-} \\  neutrino) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\overline{v}}}\,\] On equating atomic numbers and atomic masses, the atomic number and atomic mass for resulting nucleus is 7 and 13, which is for nitrogen nucleus.
