Question

A radioactive isotope



emits two beta particles and then an alpha particle and

changes to element Y. Represent this information by nuclear equation. Give a name

relating X and Y. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. take germinating moist green pea or gram seeds in a conical flask fitted with a cork with hole .

Answer 2

Answer:

ANSWER

α-decay

            ZAX→Z−2A−4Y+α

β-decay

            ZAX→Z+1AY+β−

Successive emission of 1α and 2β particles will eventually cause no change in the atomic number of the daughter nuclei.

Hence, the daughter nuclei is an isotope of the present nuclei.
