An isotope of `._(90)Th^(231)` can be converted into `._(90)Th^(227)` by the emission of

A

one `alpha`-particle

B

one `beta`-particle

C

two `alpha` and one `beta`-particle

D

one `alpha` and `2 beta`- particles

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
Isotopes of an element can be obtained by emitting one `alpha`- and `2beta`- particles from its nucleus
`._(90)Th^(231) overset(-alpha)(to) ._(88)Ra^(227) overset(-beta)(to) ._(89)Ac^(227) overset(-beta)(to) ._(90)Th^(227)`
