Assertion : The position of an element in periodic table after emission of one $\mathrm{\alpha }-$ and two $\mathrm{\beta }$- particles remains unchanged.

Reason : Emission of one $\mathrm{\alpha }-$ and two $\mathrm{\beta }-$particles give isotope of the element which acquires same position in periodic table
