    \[_{90}^{232}Th\] an isotope of thorium decays in ten stages emitting six a-particles and four b-particles in all. The end product of the decay is                                               [CPMT 2005]

    A)            \[_{82}^{206}Pb\]              

    B)            \[_{82}^{209}Pb\]                     

    C)            \[_{82}^{208}Pb\]              

    D)            \[_{83}^{209}Br\]                      

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       New mass number \[{A}'=A-4{{n}_{\alpha }}\]\[=232-4\times 6=208\] atomic number\[{Z}'=Z+{{n}_{\beta }}-2{{n}_{\alpha }}\]\[=90+4-2\times 6=82\]
