  1. A 208,82
  2. B 82,208
  3. C 210,82
  4. D 210,84
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 208,82

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In a nuclear reaction, conservation of mass and conservation of charge follows in other words we can say that mass number and atomic number are conserved. Th90232=6α24+4β10+Pb82208 Hence, the mass number and atomic number of lead is, 208 and 82.
