In beta positive decay, the nuclear number is:
Correct answer: A. Conserved
- A. Conserved
- B. Not conserved
- C. Unstable
- D. Stable
Explanation
In beta positive decay, the number of electron is increased by one, but the number of nucleons i.e., neutrons and protons remain constant. Hence, option A is correct.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
