A radioactive nucleus `A` finally transforms into a stable nuccelus `B`. Then, `A` and `B` may be

A

isobars

B

isotones

C

isotopes

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
A and `B` can be isotopes if number of `beta`decays is two times the number of `alpha`-decays.

The radioactive nucleus of an element X decays to a stable nucleus of element Y.A graph of the rate of romation of Y against time would look like:

We have two radioactive nuclei A and B . Both convert into a stable nucleus C . Nucleus A converts into C after emitting two two alpha -particles and three beta -particles. Nucleus B converts into C after emitting one. alpha -particle anf five beta -particles. A time t = 0 , nuclei of A are 4N_(0) and that of B are N_(0) . Half-life of A (into the conversion of C ) is 1min and that of B is 2min . Initially number of nuclei of C are zero. If atomic numbers and mass numbers of A and B are Z_(1),Z_(2),A_(1) and A_(2) respectively. Then
