Radioactive decay will occur as follows

Rn86220      PO84216 + He24 Half life = 55sPO84216      Pb82212  + He24 Half life = 0.66 sPb82812    BL82212 + λ°e Half life = 10.6 h

If a certain mass of radon (Rn = 220) is allowed to decay in a certain container; then after 5 minutes the element with the greater mass will be

  • radon

  • polonium

  • lead

  • bismuth


C.

lead

Let Mo be initial mass of Rn -220

Number of half-lives of Rn in 5 minutes = 5min/55s

 = 5 x 6055  5.5 Mass of Rn - 220 (left) = 125.5 Mo =M05

Therefore, the mass converted into Po - 216 is (44/45)

Mo, number of half-lives of Po- 216 in 5 minutes

 = 5 min0.66 = 3000.66  455 Mass of Po - 216 left = 12455  x 4445 M0    0

This means that Po - 216 formed will soon decay to lead. Hence, the lead will have maximum mass nearly (44/45)M0

A nucleus XZA has mass represented by m (A,Z). If mp and mn denote the mass of proton and neutron respectively and BE the binding energy (in MeV) then.

  • BE = [m(A,Z) - Zmp - (A-Z)mn]C2

  • BE = [Zmp + (A -Z)mn - m(A,Z)]c2

  • BE = [Zmp + Amn - m (A,Z)]c2

  • BE = m (A,Z) - Zmp - (A-Z) mN

The half-life period of a radioactive element X is the same as the mean life of another radioactive element Y. Initially, both of them have the same numbers of atoms then,

  • X and Y have the same decay rate initially

  • X and Y decay at the same rate always

  • Y will decay at a faster rate than X

  • X will decay at a faster rate than Y

The mass of a proton is 1847 times that of an electron. An electron and a proton are injected into a uniform electric field at right angle to the direction of the field with the same initial K.E.

  • The electron trajectory will be less curved than the proton trajectory.

  • both the trajectories will be straight

  • the proton trajectory will be less curved than the electron trajectory.

  • both the trajectories will be equally curved.
