Question

Assertion :Phosphorus-$32$ decays to sulphur-$32$ with emission of a $\beta$-particle. Reason: The neutron to proton ratio is less than $1.0$ for all light stable nuclide.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
• D. Reason is correct but Assertion is incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

${}_{15}^{32}P⟶{}_{16}^{32}S{+}_{-1}^0\beta$

Which is the process, it has no relation to the $n/p$ ratio.
