What is the daughter nucleus (nuclide) produced when 227Ac undergoes beta decay by emitting an electron?

Respuesta :

Hey there!:

β-decay:

Unstable nucleus undergo β-decay in which a neutron is converted into proton , so

¹₀ n  ---->  ₁¹p +   ₋₁⁰e    ( Z + 1 )

The complete reaction is as follows:

²²⁷₈₉AC -----> ²²⁷₉₀ Th  +  ₋₁⁰e


Therefore , the daughter nucleus is :  ²²⁷₉₀ Th


Hope that helps!
