Question

Electron capture equation

Answer 1

Answer :

Electron capture : It is defined as the inner orbital electrons is captured by the nucleus converting a proton into a neutron.

Generally the electron capture equation is represented as,

$^A_ZX+^0_{-1}e\rightarrow ^A_{Z-1}Y+x-rays$

where,

A = atomic mass number

Z = atomic number

The electron capture equations are :

$^{106}_{47}Ag+^0_{-1}e\rightarrow ^{106}_{46}Pd$

$^{116}_{50}Sn+^0_{-1}e\rightarrow ^{116}_{49}In$

$^{190}_{78}Pt+^0_{-1}e\rightarrow ^{190}_{77}Ir$

$^{123}_{53}I+^0_{-1}e\rightarrow ^{123}_{52}Te$
