Basic nuclear process in ß decay

Answer»

From the principle of conservation energy and angular momentumβ particle spin is 1/2 (= h/2π), so the change must be of the same order, however it is found that spin is either unchanged or it faces an integral change. Neutrino Hypothesis successfully explains the phenomena. β−is used for an e- andβ+is used for an e+. An excited proton rich nucleus gets stability by capturing K-shell orbital e-.

For aβ−decay, a neutron transforms into a proton within the nucleus as shown.

and for aβ+decay, aprotontransforms into a neutron within the nucleus.
