A radioactive nucleus decays by emitting one alpha and two beta particles, the daughter nucleus is `…………………..` of the parent
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To solve the problem of determining the relationship between the daughter nucleus and the parent nucleus after the decay process, we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Define the Parent Nucleus
Let’s denote the parent radioactive nucleus as \( M \) with a mass number \( A \) and atomic number \( Z \).
### Step 2: Emission of Alpha Particle
When the nucleus emits one alpha particle, the following changes occur:
- The mass number decreases by 4 (since the mass number of an alpha particle is 4).
