Question

Which of the following statements best describes the properties of aluminum-28?

Answer 1

d. When aluminum-28 undergoes beta decay, silicon-28 is produced.

Explanation:

When the nuclei of aluminium-28 decays, it produces silicon- 28:

    Aluminium    ²⁸₁₃Al

    Silicon 28      ²⁸₁₄Si

    beta particle     ⁰₋₁$\beta$

       

           ²⁸₁₃Al        →          ²⁸₁₄Si      +        ⁰₋₁$\beta$

This way, the mass and atomic number are conserved.

Conservation of mass number:

                28 = 28 + 0,  28 = 28

                 13 = 14 -1 ,       13 = 13
