An atomic nucleus A is composed of 84 protons and 128 neutrons. The nucleus A emits and alpha particle and is transformed into a nucleus B. (i) What is the composition of B ? (ii) The nucleus B emits a beta particle and is transformed into a nucleus C. What is the composition of C? (iii) What is mass number of the nucleus A ? (iv) Does the composition of C change if it emits gamma radiations ?

A : During radioactive disintegration an alpha -particle and a beta -particle do not emit simultaneously from any nucleus. R : An alpha -particle emits from a nucleus when the N/Z ratio is less than the stability range (where N=number of neutrons and Z=number of protons in a nucleus. )

In a radioactive decay, a nucleus is transformed into another with the emission of a positron. In this process the neutron-proton ratio

A: In beta -decay an electron is emitted by the nucleus R: Electrons are not present inside the nucleus.

All nuclei consist of two types of particles- protaon and neutrons. Nuclear force is the strongest froce. Stability of nucleus is determined by the neutron - proton ratio or mass defect or binding energy per nucleus or packing fraction. Shape of nucleus is calculated by quadrupole moment. Spin of nucleus depends on even or odd mass number. Volume of nucleus depends on the mass number. Whole mass of the atom (nearly 99 % ) is centered at the nucleus. Magnetic moment of the nucleus is measured in terms of the nuclear magnetons. Volume (V) of the nucleus is related to mass number (A) as

Assertion: In the process of nuclear fission, the fragments emit two or three neutrons as soon as they are formed and subsequently emit particles. Reason : As the fragments contain an excess of neutrons over protons, emission of neutrons and particles bring their neutron/proton ratio the to stable values A. Statement-1 is True , Statement-2 is True ,Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1 B. Statement-1 is True , Statement-2 is True ,Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1 C. Statement-1 is True , Statement-2 is False D. Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True

Assertion (A) : Nucleus of the atom does not contain electrons, yet it emits beta- particles in the form of electrons. Reason (R): In the nucleus , protons and neutrons exchange mesons frequently.
