Calculate the number of alpha and beta- ...

Calculate the number of `alpha` and `beta`- particles emitted in the disintegration of `""_(94)Pu^(241)` to `""_(83)Bi^(209)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Number of `alpha` - particles emitted ` = (a-y)/(4) = (241-209)/(4) = 8`
Number of `beta` - particles emitted ` = (x- b) + (a-y)/(2) = (83-94) + (241 - 209)/(2) = 5`
