  • question_answer
    The isotope \[_{92}{{U}^{235}}\] decays in a number of steps to an isotope of lead \[_{82}P{{b}^{207}}\]. The groups of particles emitted in this process will be                                  [MP PMT 1987]

    A)                 \[4\alpha ,\,7\beta \]    

    B)                 \[6\alpha ,\,4\beta \]

    C)                 \[7\alpha ,\,4\beta \]    

    D)                 \[10\alpha ,\,8\beta \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

           \[_{92}{{U}^{235}}\to {{\,}_{82}}P{{b}^{207}}+x{{\,}_{2}}H{{e}^{4}}+y{{\,}_{-1}}{{\beta }^{0}}\]                    no. of a-particles = \[\frac{235-207}{4}=\frac{28}{4}=7\alpha \]                                 no. of \[\beta \]-particles = \[92-82-2\times 7=4\beta \].
