Assertion U-235 is unstable isotope of uranium. Unergo `alpha-`decay.
Reason `alpha-`decay is observed with all radioactive isotopes having atomic number greater than 82.

Assertion : alpha -particle is a helium nucleus. Reason : In alpha -decay, both the mass number as well as atomic number of the daugther is more than that of parent.

Assertion: ""_2X^(A) undergoes 2 alpha -decay and the daughter product is ""_(z-4)Y^(A-8) Reason: In alpha -decay the mass number decreases by 4 and atomic number decreases by 2.

""_(92)U^(235) experiences one alpha - decay and one beta - decay. Find number of neutrons in the final daughter nucleus that is formed.

Various rules of thumb have seen proposed by the scientific community to expalin the mode of radioactive decay by various radioisotopes. One of the major rules is called the n//p ratio. If all the known isotopes of the elemnts are plotted on a graph of number of neutrons (n) versus number of protons (p), it is observed that all isotopes lying outside of a ''stable'' n//p ratio region are radioactive as shown fig. The graph exhibits straight line behaviour with unit slope up to p=25 . Above p=25 , tgose isotopes with n//p ratios lying above the stable region usually undergo beta decay. Very heavy isotopes (pgt83) are unstable because of their relativley large nuclei and they undergo alpha decay. Gamma ray emission does not involve the release of a particle. It represnts a change in an atom from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. How would the radioisotope of magnesium with atomic mass 27 undergo radioactive decay?.

A radioactive sample decays through two different decay processes alpha -decay and beta -decay. Half-life time for alpha −decay is 3h and half-life time for beta −decay is 6h . What will be the ratio of number of initial radioactive to the number of nuclei present after 6 h ?.
