  • less than 1

  • greater than 1

  • greater than 1

  • depends on the mass of parent nucleus


173.

In radioactive decay process, the negatively charged emitted -particles are

If 82U238 emits 8 α - particles and 6 β - particles, then the resulting nucleus is

  • 82U206

  • 82Pb206

  • 82U210

  • 82U214


B.

82Pb206

After one α-emission, the daughter nucleus reduces in mass number by 4 unit and in atomic number by 2 unit. In [β-emission the atomic number of daughter nucleus increases by 1 unit.

The reaction can be written as

U23892-8α X206 76  -6β  Y20682

Thus the resulting nucleus is  82Y206, i.e  82Pb206
