    A process that produces a one unit increase in atomic number is

    A)  electron capture

    B)  \[\beta -\]emission

    C) \[\alpha -\]emission

    D)  \[\gamma -\]ray emission

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[_{0}^{1}n\to _{1}^{1}p+_{-}^{0}{{1}^{e}}\] When a \[{{\beta }^{-}}\] particle is emitted, a neutron is converted to a proton. Therefore, in \[\beta \] emission, atomic number is increased by one unit.
