A nuclei X with mass number A and charge number Z, disintegrates into one α-particle and one β-particle. The resulting R has atomic mass and atomic number, equal to:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
When an 
-particle is emitted, mass number of nuclide 
is reduced to 4 , and its charge number is reduced to 2 , But when a 
-particle is emitted, mass number of remains the same and its charge number is increased by 1 . Hence, the resulting nuclide has atomic mass 
and atomic number 
.
