Question

Use the following atomic masses. -The neutrino was introduced as a part of the theory of beta decay because A)the emitted beta particles are monoenergetic. B)M_parent < M_daughter + M_beta. C)there was an apparent violation of the conservation of energy,angular momentum,and linear momentum. D)the disintegration energy is less than zero (Q < 0). E)the conservation of charge and the conservation of nucleons are violated without the neutrino.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The introduction of the neutrino was necessary to explain the apparent violation of conservation of energy, angular momentum, and linear momentum in beta decay. The neutrino carries away some of the energy, momentum, and angular momentum that is not accounted for by the emitted electron (beta particle) and the daughter nucleus.
