Question

A nuclide of phosphorus 3015P decays into a nuclide of silicon 3014Si. In order to satisfy charge conservation and lepton number conservation the other products must be __________.

Answer 1

In order to satisfy charge conservation and lepton number conservation the other products must be neutron.

What is conservation of mass?

The principle of conservation of mass states that, the sum of the initial mass of reactants must be equal to final mass of the products.

$_{15}^{30}P\ --- > \ _{14}^{30} Si \ + \ ^{0}_{1} n$

The balanced reaction of radioactive decay of phosphorous shows conservation of mass.

Thus, in order to satisfy charge conservation and lepton number conservation the other products must be neutron.
