Consider the following reaction. N → p + e^- This reaction is impossible because it violates which conservation law? A)baryon number B)lepton number C)strangeness D)charge

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction violates the conservation of lepton number because the number of leptons (N) on the left side does not match the number of leptons (e) on the right side. In other words, the reaction involves the creation or destruction of a lepton, which is not allowed.
