The emission of two successive beta particles from the nucleus \(^{32} _{15} P\) will produce

A
\(^{30} _{14}\)Si
B
\(^{32} _{13}\)Al
C
\(^{32} _{17}\)Cl
D
\(^{32} _{16}\)S
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: C

\(^{32} _{15}\)P \(\to\) 2\(^{0} _{-1}\)e + \(^{a} _{b}\)X

32 = 2(0) + a

a = 32

15 = 2(-1) + b

b = 15 + 2

b = 17

\(\therefore\) \(^{a} _{b}\)X = \(^{32} _{17}\)Cl
