    If \[{{\,}_{92}}{{U}^{206}}\]emits 8 \[\alpha -\]particles and \[6\beta -\]particles,then the resulting nucleus is:

    A)  \[{{\,}_{82}}{{U}^{206}}\]                           

    B)  \[{{\,}_{82}}P{{b}^{206}}\]

    C)  \[{{\,}_{82}}{{U}^{210}}\]                           

    D)  \[{{\,}_{82}}{{U}^{214}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     After one \[\alpha -\]emission, the daughter nucleus reduces in mass number by 4 unit and in atomic number by 2 unit. In \[\beta -\]emission the atomic number of daughter nucleus increases by 1 unit. The reaction can be written as \[{{\,}_{92}}{{U}^{238}}\xrightarrow{-8\alpha }{{\,}_{76}}{{X}^{206}}\xrightarrow{-6\beta }{{\,}_{82}}{{Y}^{206}}\] Thus, the resulting nucleus is \[{{\,}_{82}}{{Y}^{206}},\]i.e., \[{{\,}_{82}}P{{b}^{206}},\]
