In the following nuclear reaction \(x\) stands for \(n \rightarrow p+e^{-}+x\)

  1. A \(\alpha\)-particle
  2. B positron
  3. C nutrino
  4. D antinutrino
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) antinutrino

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here \(\frac{n}{p} \downarrow \downarrow\). So it is \(\beta^{-}\)decay. So, \(x\) stands for antinutrino.
