Questions
A radio active nucleus emits both and particles. Initial mass number of the nucleus is 260. After emission of and particles, the final mass number of the nucleus is 236 and the nucleus becomes an isotone. Then number of emitted particles is
detailed solution
Correct option is B
Let number of emitted α and β particles be x and y respectively. ∴ A−4x−Z−2x−y=A−Z⇒y=2x..........1and A−4x=A1⇒x=A−A14⇒x=260−2364=6∴ y=2×6=12Talk to our academic expert!
