The correct Answer is:
To determine which element is an isodiapher of Uranium-235 \((^{235}_{92}U)\), we need to understand the concept of isodiaphers. Isodiaphers are nuclides that have the same difference between the number of protons and neutrons (i.e., the same value of \(N - Z\), where \(N\) is the number of neutrons and \(Z\) is the number of protons). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Atomic Number and Mass Number of Uranium-235**: - Uranium-235 has an atomic number \(Z = 92\) and a mass number \(A = 235\). 2. **Calculate the Number of Neutrons in Uranium-235**: - The number of neutrons \(N\) can be calculated using the formula: \[ N = A - Z = 235 - 92 = 143 \] 3. **Determine the Value of \(N - Z\)**: - Now, we find \(N - Z\): \[ N - Z = 143 - 92 = 51 \] 4. **Identify the Isodiapher**: - An isodiapher will have the same \(N - Z\) value of 51. We need to find an element with \(N - Z = 51\) and check if it is formed from Uranium-235 through alpha decay. 5. **Consider Alpha Decay**: - In alpha decay, an element emits an alpha particle \((^{4}_{2}He)\), which decreases the mass number by 4 and the atomic number by 2. - The new element after alpha decay from Uranium-235 will have: - New mass number \(A' = 235 - 4 = 231\) - New atomic number \(Z' = 92 - 2 = 90\) 6. **Identify the New Element**: - The new element with atomic number 90 is Thorium \((^{231}_{90}Th)\). 7. **Confirm the Neutron Count for Thorium-231**: - Calculate the number of neutrons in Thorium-231: \[ N' = A' - Z' = 231 - 90 = 141 \] - Now check \(N' - Z'\): \[ N' - Z' = 141 - 90 = 51 \] 8. **Conclusion**: - Since Thorium-231 has the same \(N - Z\) value of 51, it is an isodiapher of Uranium-235. ### Final Answer: The isodiapher of Uranium-235 \((^{235}_{92}U)\) is Thorium-231 \((^{231}_{90}Th)\).
