  • question_answer
      A radioactive nucleus (initial mass number A and atomic number Z) emits 3 α-particles and 2 positrons. The ratio of number of neutrons to that of protons in the final nucleus will be ?       AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2010

    A) \[\frac{A-Z-4}{Z-2}\]      

    B)        \[\frac{A-Z-8}{Z-4}\]

    C) \[\frac{A-Z-4}{Z-8}\]      

    D)        \[\frac{A-Z-12}{Z-4}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[_{Z}^{A}X\xrightarrow[{}]{(3\alpha +2positron)}_{Z-3\times 2-2\times 1}^{A-3\times 4}\text{X}=_{Z-8}^{A-12}\text{X}\] \[\therefore \] \[\therefore \,\,\frac{No.\,of\,Neutrons}{No.\,of\,\Pr otons}\,=\frac{(A-12)-(Z-8)}{Z-8}\]                 \[=\frac{A-Z-4}{Z-8}\]
