उत्तर
The `""_11^24Na` nucleus emits a beta particle and changes into Magnesium.
(i) The above process is represented by the equation
`""_11^24Na ->""_12^24Mg + ""_-1^0e`
sodium Magnesium Beta particle
(ii) The number 24 is the mass number of the nucleus and 11 is the atomic number.
(iii) `""_11^24Na `and `""_12^24Mg ` are isobars, i.e., `""_12^24Mg ` is an isobar of `""_11^24Na ` as they have same mass number (protons + neutrons) but different atomic number (protons).
