  • question_answer
    Number of \[\alpha \] and \[\beta \] 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)        \[4\alpha \]and\[6\beta \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    If a radioactive element emitted one \[\alpha -\]particle, its atomic number decreases by two unit and mass number decreases by four units and if a radioactive element emitted one \[\beta -\]particle, its atomic number increases by one unit and mass number doesnt changes. \[_{92}{{U}^{238}}{{\xrightarrow{-8\alpha }}_{76}}{{X}^{206}}{{\xrightarrow{-6\beta }}_{82}}P{{b}^{206}}\]
