The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)
<h3>Further explanation </h3>Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles γ
- positron particles ₁e⁰
O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same
Reaction
The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7
If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)
Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When there is a negative charge on an atom then we add the charge with the number of electrons. Whereas when there is a positive charge on an atom then we subtract the charge from the number of electrons.
Atomic number of chlorine is 17. So, number of electrons present in is 17 + 1 = 18 electrons.
Atomic number of cobalt is 27. So, number of electrons present in is 27 - 4 = 23 electrons.
Atomic number of iron is 26. So, number of electrons present in is 26 - 2 = 24 electrons.
Atomic number of vanadium is 23. So, number of electrons present in V is 23 electrons.
Atomic number of scandium is 21. So, number of electrons present in is 21 + 2 = 23 electrons.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given species, has the greatest number of electrons.
