A radioactive decay forms an isotope of the original nucleus with the emission of the following particles

  1. A one \(\alpha\) - and four \(\beta\)-particles
  2. B one \(\alpha\) - and one \(\beta\)-particles
  3. C one \(\alpha\) - and two \(\beta\)-particles
  4. D four \(\alpha\) - and one \(\beta\)-particles
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) one \(\alpha\) - and four \(\beta\)-particles

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Isotopes are those atoms which have same atomic number and difference mass number \({ }_{\mathrm{z}}^{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{X} \rightarrow \mathrm{z}_{\mathrm{Z}} \mathrm{Y}^{\mathrm{A}}+\alpha+2 \beta\) Hence \(1 \alpha\) and \(2 \beta\) particles will emit for the decay of…
