MCQ
When 15​P30 decays to become 14​Si30, which particle is released?
  • A
    Electron
  • B
    $\alpha$-particle
  • C
    Neutron
  • D
    Positron

Answer

  1. Positron

Explanation:

The nuclear reaction: 15​P304Si30+ +1​e0

Thus a positron is emitted during the decay of 15​P30 into 14​Si30.
