    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 \[1\alpha \]-particle

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

    D) \[2\alpha \]-particles and 1 \[\beta \]-panicle

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

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