Question

Statement 1: Electron capture occurs more often than positron emission in heavy elements

Statement 2: Heavy elements exhibit radioactivity

  1. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1

  2. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1

  3. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False

  4. Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True

The correct answer is:

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1


    Electron capture occurs more often than positron emission in heavy elements. This is because if positron emission is energetically allowed, electron capture is necessarily allowed, but the reverse is not true,  when electron capture is energetically allowed, positron emission is not necessarily allowed
