The mass defect of the nuclear reaction: 5B8→4Be8+e+{ }_5 {B}^8 \rightarrow{ }_4 {Be}^8+{e}^{+}is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
m={m}= At. mass of 5B8−{ }_5 {B}^8- At. mass of 4Be8+{ }_4 {Be}^8+ mass of two electron
Option D (m={m}= At. mass of 5B8−{ }_5 {B}^8- At. mass of 4Be8+{ }_4 {Be}^8+ mass of two electron) is correct because the mass defect includes the mass of the positron emitted, which accounts for the difference in nuclear charge and requires adding two electron masses to balance the equation.
