Question

Complete the reaction : 30P +......= 30Si

Answer 1

-30 si i think this is wrong answer

Answer 2

Hey there,

● Completed reaction -
30Si + β-particle ---> 30P

● Radioactive decay -
- Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation.

● β-decay -
- It is lighter and faster than alpha particle.
- Penetrating power is higher than alpha particles can be stopped by thin sheet of metal.
- In beta decay, atomic number decreases by 1 while keeping the atomic mass same.


Hope this helps you...
