In the nuclear reaction, \({ }_6^{11} \mathrm{C} \rightarrow{ }_5^{11} \mathrm{~B}+\beta+X, X\) stands for

  1. A a neutron
  2. B an electron
  3. C a neutrino
  4. D an anti-neutrino
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) a neutrino

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Nuclear reaction is given as \({ }_6^{11} \mathrm{C} \rightarrow{ }_5^{11} \mathrm{~B}+\beta+X\) ...(i) When positron ( \(\beta\) ) is emitted from a nuclei, then atomic number decreases by one unit, while the mass number remains the same. Hence, Eq. (i) is written as…
