    \[_{90}T{{h}^{228}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{\,}_{83}}B{{i}^{212}}\]by

    A) \[4\alpha ,1\beta \]                       

    B) \[4\alpha ,2\beta ,\]

    C) \[5\alpha ,1\beta \]       

    D)        \[5\alpha ,2\beta ,\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{\,}_{90}}T{{h}^{228}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{\,}_{83}}B{{i}^{212}}+x_{2}^{4}He+y-{{1}^{0}}e\] Comparing mass numbers                                 \[228=212+4x\] \[x=\frac{228-212}{4}=4\] Comparing the atomic number                                 \[90=83+2x-y\]                                 \[90=83+8-y\]                                 \[y=91-90\]                                 \[y=1\] Hence, number of \[\alpha \]particles = 4 number of \[\beta \] particles = 1
