    As a result of radioactive decay, \[_{92}{{\mathsf{U}}^{238}}\] is converted into\[_{91}P{{a}^{234}}\]. The particles emitted during this decay are:

    A) \[1\alpha ,1\beta \]                       

    B) \[2\beta {{,}_{1}}{{H}^{1}}\]

    C) \[_{1}{{H}^{1}}\]                                             

    D) \[_{1}{{H}^{1}},2\alpha \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[_{92}{{U}^{238}}{{\xrightarrow{{}}}_{91}}P{{a}^{234}}\] Decrease in mass number \[=238-234=4\] \[\therefore \]Number of a-particle \[=\frac{4}{4}=1\] \[\therefore \] \[_{92}{{U}^{238}}{{\xrightarrow{-\alpha }}_{90}}{{X}^{234}}{{\xrightarrow{{}}}_{91}}P{{a}^{234}}\] Now, increase in atomic number                 \[=91-90=1\] \[\therefore \]  Number of \[\beta \] particles = 1
