MCQ
During $\beta^-$ emission:
  • A neutron in the nucleus decays emitting an electron.
  • B
    An atomic electron is ejected.
  • C
    A part of the binding energy of the nucleus is converted into an electron.
  • D
    A proton in the nucleus decays emitting an electron.

Answer

Correct option: A.
A neutron in the nucleus decays emitting an electron.

$\beta^-$ emission is due to decay of neutron in the nucleus $n \rightarrow p + e^-$.
