In successive emission of `beta` and `alpha` -particles, how many `alpha` and `beta` -particles should be emitted for the natural (4n+1 series) conversion of `""_(94)^(241)Pu` to `""_(92)^(233)U` are

A

`alpha, beta`

B

`alpha , 2beta`

C

`2alpha, 3beta`

D

`2alpha, 2beta`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

D

`""_(94)Pu^(241) to ""_(92)U^(233) + x. ""_(2)He^4 + y ""_(-1)e^0`
241=233 + 4 x
x= 2
94 = 92 + `2xx2` - y
y = 2
`2alpha` and `2beta` particles
