Read the passage and answer the question. Experiments performed have showed that radioactivity is a nuclear phenomenon in which an unstable nucleus undergoes a decay. This is referred to as radioactive decay. Three types of radioactive decay occur in nature :
Consider that 92U238 decays via alpha decay. |
Which of the following can be a possible daughter nuclei? |
90Th232 88Th234 90Th234 88Th238 |
90Th234 |
In alpha decay, mass no. falls by 4 and atomic no. falls by 2 |
