    In the transformation of \[_{92}{{U}^{238}}\] to \[_{92}{{U}^{234}},\] one emission is an \[\alpha \text{-}\]particle, what should be the other emission?

    A)  two \[{{\beta }^{-}}\]

    B)  two \[{{\beta }^{-}}\] and one \[{{\beta }^{+}}\]

    C)  one \[{{\beta }^{-}}\] and one \[\gamma \]

    D)  one \[{{\beta }^{+}}\] and one \[{{\beta }^{-}}\]

    E)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[_{92}{{U}^{238}}\xrightarrow{-\alpha }{{\,}_{90}}{{U}^{234}}\xrightarrow{-2\beta }{{\,}_{92}}{{U}^{234}}\] In the transformation of\[_{90}{{U}^{234}}\]to \[_{92}{{U}^{234}}\] two\[\beta \text{-}\]particles are emitted.
