    A radioactive element forms its own isotope after 3 consecutive disintegrations. The particles emitted as

    A) \[3\beta -\]particles

    B) \[2\beta -\]particles and 1\[\alpha -\]particle

    C) \[2\beta -\]particles and 1\[\gamma -\]particle

    D) \[2\beta -\]particles and 1\[\beta -\]particle

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     To form its own isotope atomic number (Z) should remain same. So, the emission of one a-particle and two\[\beta -\]particles will maintain the Z same. where,\[\alpha -\]particle\[{{=}_{2}}H{{e}^{4}};\beta -\]particle\[{{=}_{-1}}{{\beta }^{0}}\]
