In a mean life of radioactive sample :

• about $\frac{1}{3}$ of substance disintegrates

• about  $\frac{2}{3}$ of substance disintegrates

• about 90% of the substance disintegrates

• almost all the substance disintegrates

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

• $\sqrt{2}$

• $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

• $\frac{\sqrt{2} - 1}{\sqrt{2}}$

• $\frac{1}{2}$

For the stability of any nucleus:

• binding energy per nucleon will be more

• binding energy per nucleon will be less

• no. of electrons will be more

• none of these

Nuclear fusion is common to the pairs :

• thermonuclear reactor, uranium based nuclear reactor

• energy production in sun, uranium-based nuclear reactor

• energy production in sun, hydrogen bomb

• the disintegration of heavy nuclei, hydrogen bomb

A radioactive substance containing N atoms emits n $\alpha$ - particles per second. Half-life of the substance is :

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
