Question

How would the radio isotope of magnesium with atomic mass 27 undergo radioactive decay ?

• A. Electron capture
• B. Alpha decay
• C. Beta decay
• D. Gamma ray emission

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Beta decay

Answer 2

${ } _ { 12 } ^ { 27 } \mathrm { Mg } \rightarrow { } _ { 13 } ^ { 27 } \mathrm {~A} \ell + \mathrm { e } ^ { - } + \bar { v }$

Beta decay in which isotope ${ } _ { 12 } ^ { 27 } \mathrm { Mg }$ is converted to an isotope of aluminum.
