    In the nuclear reaction, \[_{72}{{X}^{180}}\xrightarrow{-\alpha }Y\xrightarrow{-\beta }Z\xrightarrow{-\alpha }A\xrightarrow{-\gamma }p\]the atomic mass and atomic number of P are, respectively :

    A)  170, 69       

    B)  172, 69

    C)  172,70       

    D)  170,70

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Key Idea: p-particle is fast moving electro and \[\alpha \]-particle is doubly ionized helium atom. When an atom emits an \[\alpha \]-particle its mass number decreases by 4 and atomic number by 2, when it emits a \[\beta \]-particle its mass number increases by 1, while there is no change in atomic number and mass number in \[\gamma \]-ray emission. \[_{72}{{X}^{180}}{{\xrightarrow{-\alpha }}_{70}}{{Y}^{176}}\xrightarrow{-\beta }\] \[_{71}{{X}^{176}}{{\xrightarrow{-\alpha }}_{69}}{{Y}^{176}}{{\xrightarrow{-\gamma }}_{69}}{{p}^{172}}\].
