A nucleus 11Na24 emits a beta particle to change into Magnesium(Mg)(i)

1.	A nucleus 11Na24 emits a beta particle to change into Magnesium(Mg)(i) Write the symbolic equation for the process.(ii) What are numbers 24 and 11 called?(iii) What is the general name 2412Mg with respect to 2411Na?
Answer» (i) ₁₁Na²⁴ → ₁₂Mg²⁴ + _-1e⁰+ energy (ii) 24 - mass no.(no. of protons and neutrons) 11 - atomic number(no. of protons) (iii) ₁₁Na²⁴ is called parent nuclei. ₁₂Mg²⁴ is called daughter product.

Answer»

(i) ₁₁Na²⁴ → ₁₂Mg²⁴ + _-1e⁰+ energy

(ii) 24 - mass no.(no. of protons and neutrons)

11 - atomic number(no. of protons)

(iii) ₁₁Na²⁴ is called parent nuclei.

₁₂Mg²⁴ is called daughter product.
