    In\[_{90}T{{h}^{228}}{{\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}}_{83}}B{{i}^{212}},\]the emitted\[\alpha \]and\[\beta \] particles are

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

    B)  \[4\alpha ,2\beta \]

    C)  \[5\alpha ,1\beta \]          

    D)  \[5\alpha ,2\beta \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[_{90}T{{h}^{228}}{{\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}}_{83}}B{{i}^{212}}{{+}_{{{x}_{2}}}}H{{e}^{4}}+{{y}_{1}}{{e}^{0}}\] On comparison mass number \[228=212+4x\] \[x=\frac{228-212}{4}=4\] On comparison atomic number \[90=83+2x-y\] \[90=83+8-y\] \[y=91-90\] \[y=1\] Hence, number of\[\alpha -\]particle = 4 Number of\[\beta -\]particle = 1
