The fact that the reaction ³⁷Cl + $\rightarrow$³⁷Ar + e^- is not observed whereas the reaction P + $\rightarrow$ n + e⁺ is observed is understandable in terms of the conservation of A) baryon number B) energy C) lepton number D) charge E) angular momentum

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The observed reaction involves the creation of an electron and the conservation of lepton number, whereas the unobserved reaction involves the destruction of an electron and violates the conservation of lepton number. Baryon number, energy, charge, and angular momentum are all conserved in both reactions.
