The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of identifying the relationship between element 'A' and element 'B' after the emission of an alpha particle, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Alpha Decay**: - An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. When an element 'A' emits an alpha particle, it loses these particles. 2. **Defining the Initial Properties of Element 'A'**: - Let the atomic number of element 'A' be \( Z \) and its mass number be \( M \). - The number of neutrons in element 'A' can be calculated as \( N_A = M - Z \). 3. **Determining the Properties of Element 'B'**: - After emitting an alpha particle, the atomic number of element 'B' becomes \( Z - 2 \) (since it loses 2 protons). - The mass number of element 'B' becomes \( M - 4 \) (since it loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons). - The number of neutrons in element 'B' can be calculated as \( N_B = (M - 4) - (Z - 2) = M - Z - 2 \). 4. **Calculating the Difference in Neutrons and Protons**: - For element 'A', the difference between the number of neutrons and protons is: \[ N_A - Z = (M - Z) - Z = M - 2Z \] - For element 'B', the difference is: \[ N_B - (Z - 2) = (M - Z - 2) - (Z - 2) = M - 2Z \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both elements 'A' and 'B' have the same difference between the number of neutrons and protons, they are classified as **isodiaphers**. ### Final Answer: Elements 'A' and 'B' are **isodiaphers**. ---
