In a mean life of radioactive sample :

  • about 13 of substance disintegrates

  • about  23 of substance disintegrates

  • about 90% of the substance disintegrates

  • almost all the substance disintegrates


282.

If the half-life of any sample of a radioactive substance is 4 days, then the fraction of the sample will remain undecayed after 2 days, will be

  • 2

  • 12

  • 2 - 12

  • 12

In a radioactive decay,

           92U238 α  X  α  ZYA

The values of Z and A

  • 92 , 236

  • 88 , 230

  • 90 , 130

  • 88 , 234


B.

88 , 230

After emission of α- particle, the atomic number of new element is reduced by 2 unit and the atomic mass is reduced by 4 unit. Therefore, the new element after emission of α - particle is 90X234. Again by emission of one more α- paricle from 90X234 nucleus, new element is 88γ230.

92U238 on absorbing a neutron goes over to 92U239. This nucleus emits an electron to go over to neptunium which on further emitting an electron goes over to plutonium. The resulting plutonium can be expressed as

  • 94Pu239

  • 90Pu219

  • 93Pu240

  • 92Pu240
