Answer:

Methanol is produced as product of the reaction.

Explanation:

Methyl bromide contains a good leaving group Br^{-} because of high polarizability of Br atom and weak C-Br bond.

OH^{-} is a strong base as well as strong nucleophile due to small size and high electronegativity of oxygen atom.

Here methyl bromide primarily acts as an electrophile instead of an acid because of it's very weak acidity.

So, OH^{-} acts as nucleophile towards methyl bromide by replacing bromide ion and forms methanol.

Reaction goes through S_{N}2 mechanism.

Structure formula of product has been given below.

What is the change in atomic number when an atom emits a beta particle?
salantis [7]

When an atom emits a beta particle from the nucleus, the nucleus only has one more proton and one less neutron and this will make the atomic mass number remains unchanged while the atomic number increases by 1.
