In the following nuclear reaction identify the particle X.n → P + \(\bar e\) + X

Answer»

The given nuclear reaction:

10n → 11p + 0-1e + AZX

Conservation of mass number, 

1 = 1 + 0 + A

⇒ A = 0

Conservation of atomic number, 

0 = 1 + (-1) + Z

⇒ Z = 0

Thus the particle is 00X which is a gamma photon(γ)
