← ScienceWhich consequence results when accelerated electron capture decay occurs within iodine-125?
A)Daughter atom experiences recoil shift✓
B)Gamma emissions cause structural failure
C)Metastable isomer shifts neutron number
D)Lattice defects increase the half-life
💡 Explanation
The daughter atom experiences recoil shift because electron capture transmutes the nucleus triggering momentum conservation via the recoil mechanism therefore, the atom shifts to conserve overall momentum rather than remaining stationary.
