    Number of neutrons m a parent nucleus X, which gives \[_{7}{{N}^{14}}\] after two successive P-emission would be:

    A)  \[7\]                                    

    B)  \[6\]

    C)  \[9\]                                    

    D)  \[8\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Since, \[_{7}{{N}^{14}}\] is obtained from the parent element after two successive \[\beta \]-emission hence, the atomic number of parent element should be two units less than \[_{7}{{N}^{14}}\]i.e., the atomic number of parent element is 5, mass number of parent element is 14. Since, there is no change in mass number in \[\beta \]-emission. So, the number of neutrons in the parent nucleus = mass number - atomic number.                 \[=14-5=9\]
