Name the particle 'X' emitted in the nuclear reaction given below - ${_{11}^{22}Na} → {_{11}^{22}Ne}+v+X$ |
Proton Electron Positron Neutrino |
Positron |
The correct answer is Option (3) → Positron The reaction is, ${_{11}^{22}Na} → {_{11}^{22}Ne}+v+X$ A positron is emitted because, the atomic number has decreased by 1, which indicates the emission of a positive charge (positron). |
