Calculate the number of alpha- and beta-...

Calculate the number of `alpha`- and `beta`-particles emitted when `._(92)U^(238)` into radioactive `._(82)Pb^(206)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`8`
`._(92)U^(238) overset(-6alpha)(rarr) ._(90)X^(214) overset(-2beta)(rarr) ._(82)Pb^(214)`
`:.` Total no. of `alpha-` and `beta-` particles `= 6+2 = 8`
