    Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as

    Assertion On a decay daughter nucleus shifts two places to the left from the parent nucleus. Reason An alpha particle carries four units of mass.

    A)  If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.         

    B)  If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

    C)  If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

    D)  If both Assertion and Reason are false.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We know that on a-particle carries 2 units of positive charge and four unit of mass. On \[\alpha -decays\], charge number of parent nucleus decreases by 2 units. As classification or grouping of elements is based on charge number, hence daughter nucleus shifts two places to the left from the parent nucleus.
