Question : 72
Total: 74
The nucleus A emits an alpha particle and is transformed into nucleus B . What is the composition of nucleus B ?
Solution:
Given : Composition of atomic nucleus
A = 84 protons and 128 neutrons.
Mass no. of A = 84 + 128
= 212
Atomic no. ofA = 84
The nucleus A emits an alpha particle, the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic no. decreases by 2 .
84 212 A
82 208 B
No. of protons inB = 82 .
No. of neutrons in B = 208 − 82
= 126 .
Atomic no. of
