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.
During `beta`-decay, the mass of atomic nucleus

A

decreases by 1 unit

B

increases by 1 unit

C

decreases by 2 unit

D

Remains unaffected

Balance the following nuclear reactions: a. ._(3)Li^(7) + ._(0)n^(1) rarr 2 ._(2)He^(4) + ? b. ._(42)Mo^(94) + ._(1)H^(2) rarr ._(0)n^(1) + ?

Assertion (A): The emission of alpha- particles results in the formation of isodiapher of parent element. Reason (R) : Isodiaphers have same isotopic number.

Assertion : After emission of one alpha -particle and two beta -particles, atomic number remains unchanged. Reason : Mass number changes by four.
