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

Beta decay

Explanation

Solution

1227Mg1327 A+e+vˉ{ } _ { 12 } ^ { 27 } \mathrm { Mg } \rightarrow { } _ { 13 } ^ { 27 } \mathrm {~A} \ell + \mathrm { e } ^ { - } + \bar { v }

Beta decay in which isotope 1227Mg{ } _ { 12 } ^ { 27 } \mathrm { Mg } is converted to an isotope of aluminum.
