In the disintegration of a radioactive element, `alpha`- and `beta`-particles are evolved from the nucleus.
`._(0)n^(1) rarr ._(1)H^(1) + ._(-1)e^(0) +` Antineutrino + Energy
`4 ._(1)H^(1) rarr ._(2)He^(4) + 2 ._(+1)e^(0) +` Energy
Then, emission of these particles changes the nuclear configuration and results into a daughter nuclide. Emission of an `alpha`-particles results into a daughter element having atomic number lowered by 2 and mass number by 4, on the other hand, emission of a `beta`-particle yields an element having atomic number raised by 1.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the changes in atomic number and mass number that occur when a radioactive element from group III B emits one alpha particle and one beta particle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Element:** Let's denote the radioactive element as \( X \) with an atomic number \( Z \) and mass number \( A \). 2. **Alpha Particle Emission:** When \( X \) emits one alpha particle (\( \alpha \)), the changes are as follows: - The mass number decreases by 4. - The atomic number decreases by 2. Therefore, after emitting an alpha particle, the new element can be represented as: \[ X \rightarrow X' \quad \text{where} \quad X' = (A - 4) \quad \text{and} \quad Z' = (Z - 2) \] 3. **Beta Particle Emission:** Next, when \( X' \) emits one beta particle (\( \beta \)), the changes are: - The mass number remains the same. - The atomic number increases by 1. Thus, after emitting a beta particle, the new element becomes: \[ X' \rightarrow Y \quad \text{where} \quad Y = (A - 4) \quad \text{and} \quad Z'' = (Z - 2 + 1) = (Z - 1) \] 4. **Determine the Group of the Daughter Nuclide:** Since the original element \( X \) belongs to group III B (or group 3), and after the emissions, the new atomic number \( Z'' = Z - 1 \) indicates that the daughter nuclide \( Y \) will belong to group II A (or group 2). 5. **Conclusion:** Therefore, the position of the daughter nuclide will be in group 2 A. ### Final Answer: The daughter nuclide will be in **2nd A**.
