The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two radioactive decay processes given and determine in which case the group of parent and daughter elements remains unchanged. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Decay Processes**: - **Decay I**: Uranium-92 (U) decays to Thorium-90 (Th). - **Decay II**: Thorium-90 (Th) decays to Radium-88 (Ra). 2. **Determine the Atomic Numbers**: - For Decay I: - Parent: Uranium (U) has an atomic number of 92. - Daughter: Thorium (Th) has an atomic number of 90. - For Decay II: - Parent: Thorium (Th) has an atomic number of 90. - Daughter: Radium (Ra) has an atomic number of 88. 3. **Analyze the Groups in the Periodic Table**: - **Group of Parent and Daughter in Decay I**: - Uranium (U, atomic number 92) and Thorium (Th, atomic number 90) are both actinides and belong to the same group in the periodic table. - **Group of Parent and Daughter in Decay II**: - Thorium (Th, atomic number 90) and Radium (Ra, atomic number 88) belong to different groups. Thorium is an actinide, while Radium is an alkaline earth metal. 4. **Conclusion**: - In Decay I, the parent (U) and daughter (Th) elements remain in the same group (actinides). - In Decay II, the parent (Th) and daughter (Ra) do not remain in the same group. Thus, the answer is that in **Decay I**, the group of parent and daughter elements remains unchanged. ### Final Answer: **Decay I (Uranium-92 to Thorium-90) is the case where the group of parent and daughter elements remains unchanged.** ---
