The nucleus $_{10}^{23} Ne$ decays by $\beta^{-}$ emission. Write down the $\beta^{-}$-decay equation and determine the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted. Given that:
$m(_{10}^{23} Ne) = 22.994466 \; u$
$m(_{11}^{23} Na) = 22.989770 \; u$

Before the neutrino hypothesis,the beta decay process was thought to be the transition $n \to p + e^-$. If this were true,show that if the neutron was at rest,the proton and electron would emerge with fixed energies and calculate them. Experimentally,the electron energy was found to have a large range.

$A$ radioactive nucleus decays as follows:
$X \xrightarrow{\alpha} X_1 \xrightarrow{\beta} X_2 \xrightarrow{\alpha} X_3 \xrightarrow{\gamma} X_4$
If the mass number and atomic number of $X_4$ are $172$ and $69$ respectively, then the atomic number and mass number of $X$ are:
