Question

Write the general equation that represents beta emission

Answer 1

zX^A-------> z+1Y^A+ _1e^0+0v^0
where z is atomic no
A is atomic mass , 0v^0 is nutrino and -1e^0is electron

Answer 2

Answer:

The equation that can be used in representing the beta emission is

$z^{X^{A}} \rightarrow_{z+1} Y^{A}+_{-1} B^{0}$ + anti neutrino + energy

Explanation:

Here, Z represents the atomic number, and A is the mass number

'Beta emission' occurs when a 'neutron' located in the 'nucleus' of a 'radioactive isotope' is converted into a 'proton' by the 'emission of an electron'. Hence the atomic number of the isotope 'increases' by 1 and the 'mass number' remains the same.
