The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the nuclear reactions given and determine the relationship between the nuclei involved. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first reaction The first reaction is: \[ \text{A} \rightarrow \text{B} + \alpha \] Here, an alpha particle (\(\alpha\)) is emitted. - An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, which means it has a mass number of 4 and an atomic number of 2. - If nucleus A has a mass number \(A\) and atomic number \(Z\), after emitting an alpha particle, the mass number and atomic number of nucleus B will be: - Mass number of B: \(A - 4\) - Atomic number of B: \(Z - 2\) ### Step 2: Analyze the second reaction The second reaction is: \[ \text{B} \rightarrow \text{C} + 2\beta \] Here, two beta particles (\(\beta\)) are emitted. - A beta particle is an electron emitted from the nucleus, which means it does not change the mass number but increases the atomic number by 1. - Since two beta particles are emitted, the atomic number of nucleus C will be: - Atomic number of C: \((Z - 2) + 2 = Z\) - The mass number of C remains the same as that of B, which is: - Mass number of C: \(A - 4\) ### Step 3: Conclusion From the above analysis, we can summarize the properties of nuclei A, B, and C: - Nucleus A has mass number \(A\) and atomic number \(Z\). - Nucleus B has mass number \(A - 4\) and atomic number \(Z - 2\). - Nucleus C has mass number \(A - 4\) and atomic number \(Z\). Since nuclei A and C have the same atomic number \(Z\) but different mass numbers, they are isotopes of each other. ### Final Answer Thus, the correct conclusion is that nuclei A and C are isotopes. ---

Nuceli A and B convert into a stable nucleus C . Nucleus A is converted into C by emitting 2 alpha particels and 3 beta -particles. Nucleus B is converted into C by emitting one alpha -particle and 5 beta -particles. At time t=0 , nuclei of A are 4N_(0) and nuceli of B are N_(0) . Initially, number of nuclei of C are zero. Half-life of A (into conservation of C ) is 1 min and that of B is 2 min . Find the time (in minutes) at which rate of disintegration of A and B are equal.

During alpha-decay , a nucleus decays by emitting an alpha -particle ( a helium nucleus ._2He^4 ) according to the equation ._Z^AX to ._(Z-2)^(A-4)Y+._2^4He+Q In this process, the energy released Q is shared by the emitted alpha -particle and daughter nucleus in the form of kinetic energy . The energy Q is divided in a definite ratio among the alpha -particle and the daughter nucleus . A nucleus that decays spontaneously by emitting an electron or a positron is said to undergo beta -decay .This process also involves a release of definite energy . Initially, the beta -decay was represented as ._Z^AX to ._(Z+1)^AY + e^(-)"(electron)"+Q According to this reaction, the energy released during each decay must be divided in definite ratio by the emitted e' ( beta -particle) and the daughter nucleus. While , in alpha decay, it has been found that every emitted alpha -particle has the same sharply defined kinetic energy. It is not so in case of beta -decay . The energy of emitted electrons or positrons is found to vary between zero to a certain maximum value. Wolfgang Pauli first suggested the existence of neutrinoes in 1930. He suggested that during beta -decay, a third particle is also emitted. It shares energy with the emitted beta particles and thus accounts for the energy distribution. During beta^+ decay (positron emission) a proton in the nucleus is converted into a neutron, positron and neutrino. The reaction is correctly represented as
