Question

The unstable nucleus 82212Pb decays with β-particle emission, having a half-life of 10 h. From this it follows that the
A : mass number of the product is 212
B : atomic number of the product is 81
C : fraction of the original isotope remaining after 20 h is 14
D : product nucleus formed belongs to same group
Select the correct alternate.

Moderate
Solution

.once beta particle is emitted atomic number increases by one unit, therefore its group also changes in this case
