    A  radium \[_{88}R{{a}^{224}}\] isotope, on emission of an \[\alpha \]-particle gives rise to a new element whose mass number and atomic number will be [CPMT 1980; EAMCET 1985; MP PMT 1993]

    A)                 220 and 86          

    B)                 225 and 87

    C)                 228 and 88          

    D)                 224 and 86

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

           When an a-particle is emitted by any nucleus than atomic weight decreases by four units and atomic number decreases by two units                                 \[_{88}R{{a}^{224}}\xrightarrow{-\alpha }{{\,}_{86}}{{X}^{220}}\]
