उत्तर
Emission of `beta^-` (i.e. a negative beta particle)
When an energetic `gamma` - ray photon falls on heavy substance, it is absorbed by some nucleus of the substance, and its energy gives rise to the production of an electron and a position. This phenomenon in which energy is converted into mass is called pair production.

In a periodic table the average atomic mass of magnesium is given as 24.312 u. The average value is based on their relative natural abundance on earth. The three isotopes and their masses are `""_12^24Mg` (23.98504u), `""_12^25 Mg` (24.98584u) and `""_12^26Mg` (25.98259u). The natural abundance of `""_12^24 Mg` is 78.99% by mass. Calculate the abundances of other two isotopes.
