$\beta-emission$ is always accompanied by

  • A
    formation of antineutrino and $\alpha$ -particle
  • B
    emission of $\alpha$ -particle and $\gamma$ -ray
  • Correct answer
    C
    formation of antineutrino and $y$ -ray
  • D
    formation of antineutrino and positron

Solution

During the $\beta$ -emission, a neutron gets converted into a proton along with the formation of antineutrino and electron. Figure

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
