    The decay from\[_{92}^{235}U\]to\[_{82}^{211}Pb\]involves the emission of

    A)  \[2\alpha \] and\[6\beta \]particles   

    B)  \[5\alpha \] and\[6\beta \]particles

    C)  \[6\alpha \] and\[2\beta \]particles

    D)  \[10\alpha \] and\[6\beta \]particles 

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    : \[_{92}^{235}U\to _{82}^{211}Pb+x_{2}^{4}He+y_{-1}^{0}e\] Equating atomic mass, we get \[235=211+4x\Rightarrow 4x=24\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[x=6\] Equating atomic number, we get \[92=82+2x-y\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[92=82+12-y\Rightarrow y=2\] It involves emission of\[6\alpha \]and\[6\beta \]particles.
