What is the daughter nucleus (nuclide) produced when 64 Cu Cu64 undergoes beta decay by emitting an electron? Replace each question mark with the appropriate integer or symbol.

Respuesta :

Answer: The daughter nuclide formed by the beta decay of given isotope is [tex]_{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}[/tex]

Explanation:

Beta decay is defined as the process in which beta particle is emitted. In this process, a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron.

The released beta particle is also known as electron.

[tex]_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta[/tex]

We are given:

Parent isotope = [tex]_{29}^{64}\textrm{Cu}[/tex]

The chemical equation for the beta decay process of [tex]_{29}^{64}\textrm{Cu}[/tex] follows:

[tex]_{29}^{64}\textrm{Cu}\rightarrow _{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}+_{-1}^0\beta[/tex]

Hence, the daughter nuclide formed by the beta decay of given isotope is [tex]_{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}[/tex]
