\(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{F}^{18}\) is a \(\mathrm{F}^{18}\) radio-isotope labelled organic compound. \(\mathrm{F}^{18}\) decays by positron emission. The product resulting on decay is

  1. A \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{O}^{18}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{Ar}^{10}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{B}^{12} \mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{F}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{O}^{18}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({ }_{9} \mathrm{F}^{18} \longrightarrow{ }_{x} \mathrm{E}^{y}+{ }_{+1} e^{0}\) \[ x=8, y=18 \] \(\therefore \quad \mathrm{E}^{y}={ }_{8} \mathrm{O}^{18}\) \(\because\) Position has one unit of the charge and zero mass. Thus, \(\mathrm{F}^{18}\) changes to \(\mathrm{O}^{18}\)…
