(a)
Interpretation:
Out of the given nuclei that undergoes
Concept-Introduction:
Beta decay series is two types such as beta minus decay and beta plus decay.
The neutron is converted to a proton in this process it create an electron is called beta minus decay radiation. Beta decay generally occurs in neutron-rich nuclei.
(b)
Interpretation:
Out of the given nuclei that undergoes
Concept-Introduction:
Beta decay series is two types such as beta minus decay and beta plus decay.
The neutron is converted to a proton in this process it create an electron is called beta minus decay radiation.
Then beta plus decay radiation, in this process proton converted to neutron it creates a positron. So these are called positron emission. Positron emission takes place when the ratio of neutron to proton is low. Or generally occurs in proton-rich nuclei.
