The sequence of decay of radioactive nuc...

The sequence of decay of radioactive nucleus is `D overset alphato D_1oversetbeta toD_2 oversetalpha toD_3`. If nucleon number and atomic number of `D_2` are 176 and 71 respectively, what are their values for D and `D_3`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As `alpha` is `._2He^4` and `beta` is `._-1e^0`, therefore,
for D, mass no. `=176+0+4=180`
charge numeber `=71-1+2=72`
for `D_3`, mass no. `= 176 -4=172`
charge no. `=71-2=69`
