Assertion : ₁₁²² Mg emits a positron giving 22 12 Mg . Reason : In ⁺ emission neutron is transformed into proton.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
D. If both assertion and reason are false.
Step-by-step solution
₁₁ Na ²² ₁₂ Mg ²²+ _ -1 ^0 It involves -particle emission. While positron emission is due to the conversion of proton into neutron. ₁^1 p ₀^1 n+ ₁^0
