` _86A^222rarr_84B^210`. In this reaction, how many `alpha` and `beta` particles are emitted?

A

`6 alpha, 3 beta`

B

`3 alpha, 4 beta`

C

`alpha, 3 beta`

D

`3 alpha, 6 beta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) By using `n_alpha = (A - A')/(4)` and `n_beta = 2 n_beta = 2n_beta = 2 n_alpha - Z + Z'`.
