Question

Match the following two columns.

Column IColumn II
(a) After emission of one α and one β particles(p) atomic number will decrease by 3
(b) After emission of two α and one β particle(q) atomic number will decrease by 2
(c) After emission of one α and two β particles(r) mass number will decrease by 8
(d) After emission of two α and two βparticles.(s) mass number will decrease by 4

Moderate
Solution

Emission of one β particle leads to increase in atomic number by one and no change in mass number.

Emission of one α particle leads to decrease in atomic number by two and decrease in mass number by four.
