Questions  

In which of the following decays n/p ratio increases

a
α –decay
b
β –decay
c
γ –decay
d
None

detailed solution

Correct option is A

n/p ratio lower than required for stability then α -emission takes place.  Ex:  92U238→90Th234+2He4 n/p ratio of U = 14692=1.58 n/p ratio of Th = 14490=1.60
