Question

Increase in atomic number by one unit due to emission of $\beta$- particle is as a result of conversion of neutron into proton.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

${}_0^{1}n⟶{}_1^{1}P+{}_{-1}^{0}e$ ($\beta$- particle)

${}_6^{14}C⟶{}_7^{14}N+{}_{-1}^{0}e$

As beta particles are negatively charged so in beta emission neutron converts into proton as given above.
