    A nucleus of an element \[_{84}{{X}^{202}}\]emits an a-particle first, a b-particle next and then a gamma photon. The final nucleus formed has an atomic number                                                  [JIPMER 1999]

    A)            200                                           

    B)            199

    C)            83  

    D)            198

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[_{84}{{X}^{202}}{{\xrightarrow{\alpha -decay}}_{82}}{{Y}^{198}}{{+}_{2}}H{{e}^{4}}\]and \[_{82}{{Y}^{198}}{{\xrightarrow{\beta -\text{decay}}}_{83}}{{Z}^{198}}{{+}_{-1}}{{\beta }^{0}}\]
