A radiaoactive nucleus (initial mass number `A` and atomic number `Z` emits `3 a` - particles and 2 positrons The ratio of number of neutrons to that of proton in the final nucleus will be

A

`(A-Z - 8)/(Z - 4)`

B

`(A-Z - 4)/(Z - 8)`

C

`(A -Z - 12)/(Z - 4)`

D

`(A-Z - 4)/(Z - 2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`_(Z)^(A)X overset (A - 12)rarr _(x - 8)V +3_(2)^(4) X_(e) + _(1)^(0)e `
`A - 12 - (Z- 8)`
:. Required ratio = (A - Z - T)/(Z - 8)`
