The emission of two successive beta particles from the nucleus (^{32}{15} P) will produce
-
A.
(^{30}{14})Si -
B.
(^{32}{13})Al -
C.
(^{32}{17})Cl -
D.
(^{32}{16})S
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
(^{32}{15})P (to) 2(^{0}{-1})e + (^{a}{b})X
32 = 2(0) + a
a = 32
15 = 2(-1) + b
b = 15 + 2
b = 17
(therefore) (^{a}{b})X = (^{32}{17})Cl
