Question

A nucleus ²⁴Na11 emits a beta particle to change into Magnesium (Mg). (i) Write the symbolic equation for the process (ii) what are the numbers 24 and 11 called ? (iii) what is the general name of ²⁴Mg12 with respect to ²⁴Na11 ?
solve this Numerical..!​

Answer 1

Answer:

the 24/11Na nucleus emits a beta particle and change into magnesium.

1) the above represented process is represented by equation.

24/11Na results to 24/12Mg + ^0-1^e

sodium magnesium beta particle

2) the number 24 is the mass number of the nucleus and 11 is the atomic number.

3) 24/11 Na and 24/12 Mg are isobars i.e., 24/12Mg is an isobar of 24/12Na. As they are same mass number (protons + neutrons ) but different atomic number (protons)

hope it helps !
