The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the decay sequence of Uranium-238 (U-238) as it undergoes alpha and beta emissions step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the initial element The initial element is Uranium-238, represented as: \[ \text{U}_{92}^{238} \] Here, the atomic number (Z) is 92 and the mass number (A) is 238. ### Step 2: First alpha emission During the first alpha emission, a helium nucleus (which has an atomic number of 2 and a mass number of 4) is emitted. This results in: - Atomic number decreases by 2: \( 92 - 2 = 90 \) - Mass number decreases by 4: \( 238 - 4 = 234 \) Thus, the new element (A) is: \[ \text{A}_{90}^{234} \] The element with atomic number 90 is Thorium (Th). ### Step 3: Second alpha emission Now, element A (Thorium-234) undergoes another alpha emission: - Atomic number decreases by 2: \( 90 - 2 = 88 \) - Mass number decreases by 4: \( 234 - 4 = 230 \) Thus, the new element (B) is: \[ \text{B}_{88}^{230} \] The element with atomic number 88 is Radium (Ra). ### Step 4: Beta emission Next, element B (Radium-230) undergoes beta emission. In beta emission, a beta particle (which is an electron with a charge of -1) is emitted: - Atomic number increases by 1: \( 88 + 1 = 89 \) - Mass number remains the same: \( 230 \) Thus, the new element (C) is: \[ \text{C}_{89}^{230} \] The element with atomic number 89 is Actinium (Ac). ### Step 5: Determine the groups of each element Now, we need to determine the group of each element: - Uranium (U) is in group 3B. - Thorium (Th) is also in group 3B. - Radium (Ra) is in group 2A. - Actinium (Ac) is in group 3B. ### Conclusion The correct statements based on the analysis are: 1. A (Thorium) is in group 3B. 2. B (Radium) is in group 2A. 3. C (Actinium) is in group 3B. ### Final Answer The correct statement is: - A will be of group 3B. - B will be of group 2A. - C will be of group 3B.
