How are beta-rays emitted from a nucleus, when it does not contain electrons ?

Answer»



Solution :The emission of electron from a RADIOACTIVE NUCLEUS is called `beta`-decay. During `beta`-decay, a neutron converts into a proton ACCORDING to the following scheme.
`""_(0)n^(1) rarr ""_(1)H^(1)+""_(-1)E^(0)+bar(v)`
Hence the nucleus emits electrons, although it does not contain it.
