Which of the following nuclear reactions will generate an isotope ?

Answer»

Positron emission
`ALPHA`-particle emission
`beta`-particle emission
neutron particle emission.

Solution :An isotope can be generated by the emission of positron, `alpha-` particle or `beta` particle because it will change atomic NUMBER of the parent nucleide. An isotope can be generated when the NUCLEI of an element are bombarded by slow neutron.
e.g. `""_(27)^(59)Co""+_(0)^(1)nto""_(27)^(60)Co`
(it is HYPOTHETICAL PROCESS).
