Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.
For example, given atom has mass number as 15 and its atomic number is 7.
Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.
Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons
15 = 7 + no. of neutrons
no. of neutrons = 15 - 7
= 8
Thus, we can conclude that the given atom contains 8 neutrons in the nucleus.
A beta particle is an electron and it has a -1 charge and zero mass.
Beta decay by
emitting an electron is called as β⁻
decay. When this happens, a neutron of the element converts into a proton by
emitting an electron. Hence, the mass of daughter nucleus is same as parent
atom but atomic number/number of protons is higher by 1 than atomic number of
parent atom.
In a β⁻ decay, the symbol is used as ₋₁⁰β or ₋₁⁰e.
-1 is for charge
<span> 0 is for the mass of the particle
