Q 3. Calculate the number of neutrons in the remaining atom after emission of an alpha particle from atom
146
145
144
143
On account of emission of an alpha particle, the atomic mass is decreased by 4 units and atomic number by 2 units
So, Atomic mass of daughter element = 234
Atomic number of daughter element = 90
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number
= 234 - 90 = 144

Q 4. Radioactive disintegration of takes place in the following manner into
, Determine mass number and atomic number of RaC.
214 and 84
214 and 86
214 and 83
214 and 85
Parent element is
Atomic mass = 226
Atomic number = 88
RaC is formed after the emission of 3 alpha particles. Mass of 3 alpha particles
So Atomic mass of RaC
With emission of one α-particle, atomic number is decreased by 2 and with emission of β-particle, atomic number is increased by 1.
So Atomic number of RaC

Q 5. How many 'α and β' particles will be emitted when changes into
2 and 6
4 and 2
2 and 4
6 and 2
The change is;
Decrease in mass
Mass of 1 α-particle
Therefore, number of α-particles emitted
Number of β-particles emitted
Hence number of α-particles = 4 and number of β-particles = 2
