A nucleus with `Z = 92` emits the following in a sequence
`a, beta^(bar) , beta^(bar)a,a,a,a,a, beta^(bar) , beta^(bar) , a, beta^(+) , beta^(+) , a `
Them `Z` of the resulting nucleus is

A

`76`

B

`78`

C

`82`

D

`74`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The number of `a - particle released = 8`
Therefore the atomic number should decreases by `16`
The number of `beta^(bar) - particle released = 4 `
Therefore the atomic number should increases by `4`
Also the number of `beta ^(+)` particle released is `2` which should decreases the atomic number is
`92 - 16 + 4 - 2 = 78`
