In the decay chain given below the sequential order in which the radioactive radiations are emitted will be :
\(^{A}_{Z}X \to ^{A}_{Z+1}Y \to ^{A-4}_{Z-1}P^* \to ^{A-4}_{Z-1}P\)

  1. A \(\alpha, \beta, \gamma\)
  2. B \(\beta, \gamma, \alpha\)
  3. C \(\gamma, \alpha, \beta\)
  4. D \(\beta, \alpha, \gamma\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\beta, \alpha, \gamma\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(^{A}_{Z}X \to ^{A}_{Z+1}Y\): \(\beta\)-decay (Z increases by 1, A constant) \(^{A}_{Z+1}Y \to ^{A-4}_{Z-1}P^*\): \(\alpha\)-decay (A decreases by 4, Z decreases by 2) \(^{A-4}_{Z-1}P^* \to ^{A-4}_{Z-1}P\): \(\gamma\)-emission (A constant, Z constant, de-excitation) Sequence:…
