    Number of a and p emitted in the reaction \[_{92}{{U}^{238}}{{\xrightarrow{{}}}_{82}}P{{b}^{206}}\]are

    A)  \[6\alpha \]and \[8\beta \]       

    B)  \[8\alpha \] and \[6\beta \]

    C)  \[6\alpha \] and \[4\beta \]   

    D)  \[4\beta \] and \[6\beta \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    If a radioactive element emitted one a-particle, its atomic number decreases by two unit and mass number decreases by four units and if a radioactive element emitted one p-particle, its atomic number increases by one unit and mass number doesn't changes. \[_{92}{{U}^{238}}{{\xrightarrow{-8\alpha }}_{76}}{{X}^{206}}{{\xrightarrow{-6\beta }}_{82}}P{{b}^{206}}\]
