Questions  

A nucleus nXm  emits one α and one β  particle. The resulting nucleus is

a
nXm  −  4
b
n  −  2Ym  −  4
c
n  −  4Zm  −  4
d
n  −  1Zm  −  4

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Decrease in mass no. =4Decrease in charge no. =2−1=1 After  1 α is emited, n  −  2Ym  −  4 After 1 β is emitted n  −  2+1Ym  −  4=n  −  1Ym  −  4
