Question:

Complete the following nuclear equation: \( \^{30}_{15}Si + ? \rightarrow ? + 1e^0 \)

Show Hint

In beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, and an electron (beta particle) is emitted, maintaining the atomic number while the mass number remains the same.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

This is a beta-decay reaction where a neutron decays into a proton and an electron (beta particle). The missing particle is a beta particle (\( 1e^0 \)), which balances the equation in terms of atomic and mass numbers.
