    Which of the following regarding decay of \[A{{l}^{25}}\]is not true?

    A)  It may decay by position emission

    B)  It may decay by a neutron emission

    C)  It may decay by electron capture

    D)  The product nucleus is Mg

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[A{{l}^{25}}\]has \[13p\]and \[12\,n,\]i.e., \[\frac{n}{p}<1\] Such nuclei lie below the band of stability, decay by either positron emission or electron capture of\[M{{g}^{25}}\]as \[{}_{13}^{25}Al\xrightarrow{{}}{}_{+1}^{0}e+{}_{12}^{25}Mg\]
