Answer : The chemical equation for the beta decay process of [tex]_{11}^{24}\textrm{Na}[/tex] follows:
[tex]_{11}^{24}\textrm{Na}\rightarrow _{12}^{24}\textrm{Mg}+_{-1}^0\beta[/tex]
Explanation :
Beta decay : It is defined as the process in which beta particle is emitted. In this process, a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron.
The released beta particle is also known as electron.
[tex]_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta[/tex]
We are given:
Parent isotope = [tex]_{11}^{24}\textrm{Na}[/tex]
The chemical equation for the beta decay process of [tex]_{11}^{24}\textrm{Na}[/tex] follows:
[tex]_{11}^{24}\textrm{Na}\rightarrow _{12}^{24}\textrm{Mg}+_{-1}^0\beta[/tex]
