Question: $ _{86}A^{222}\to _{84}B^{210} $ . In this reaction how many $ \alpha $ and $ \beta $ particles are emitted [BHU 2005]

Options:

A) $ 6\alpha ,,3\beta $

B) $ 3\alpha ,,4\beta $

C) $ 4\alpha ,,3\beta $

D) $ 3\alpha ,,6\beta $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

By using $ {n_{\alpha }}=\frac{A-{A}’}{4} $ and $ {n_{\beta }}=2{n_{\alpha }}-Z+Z’ $
