MCQ
$Q$ value for neutron decay is:
  • $0.782\ MeV$
  • B
    $0.782\ eV$
  • C
    $78.2\ MeV$
  • D
    $0$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0.782\ MeV$

For neutron decay, some mass disappears as neutrons convert to a proton, electron and antineutrino.
$Q=\left(m_n-m_p-m{_v}^--m_e\right) c^2=0.782 \mathrm{MeV}$
