Question

When a β - -particle is emitted from a nucleus. the neutron-proton ratio: (A) is decreased (B) is increased (C) remains the same (D) first (A) then (B)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When a β -particle is emitted from a nucleus, no. of proton increases and number of neutron decreases. Hence the neutron-proton ratio is decreased.

Q. When a $β^{-}$ -particle is emitted from a nucleus. the neutron-proton ratio:

is decreased

is increased

remains the same

first (A) then (B)

When a $β$ -particle is emitted from a nucleus, no. of proton increases and number of neutron decreases. Hence the neutron-proton ratio is decreased.

Q. When a β− -particle is emitted from a nucleus. the neutron-proton ratio:
