    A radioactive element forms its own isotope after 3 consecutive disintegrations. The particles emitted are

    A)  3 \[\beta \]-particles

    B)  2 \[\beta \]-particles and 1 \[\alpha \]-particle

    C)  2 \[\beta \]-particles and 1 \[\gamma \]-particle

    D)  2 \[\beta \]-particles and 1 \[\beta \]-particle

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    To form its own isotope atomic number (Z) should remain same. So, the emission of one a-particle and two \[\text{ }\!\!\beta\!\!\text{ -}\]particles will maintain the Z same. where \[\alpha \text{-}\]particle \[{{=}_{2}}H{{e}^{4}};\] \[\text{ }\!\!\beta\!\!\text{ -}\]particle \[{{\text{=}}_{\text{-1}}}{{\text{ }\!\!\beta\!\!\text{ }}^{\text{0}}}\]
