$z^{X^{A}}$ undergoes $2 α -$ decays. $2 β -$ decays and $2 γ -$ decays and the daughter product is $z - 2^{Y^{A - 8}}$

Question

Verified by Toppr

Answer 1

After the first two $α$ decays the mass number will decrease by $8$ and the atomic number will decrease by $4$ which will make,
$_{z - 4} X^{A - 8}$
After the next two $β$ decays, the atomic number will increase by 2 units. The product will be,
$_{z - 2} X^{A - 8}$
After the last two $γ$ decays, the atomic number and the mass number will remain unchanged. Final daughter product is
$_{z - 2} X^{A - 8}$
The assertion is therefore correct and the reason is also correct which is the correct explanation for assertion.
The answer is option (A).

Answer 2

After the first two

α

decays the mass number will decrease by

8

and the atomic number will decrease by

4

which will make,

_{z - 4} X^{A - 8}

After the next two

β

decays, the atomic number will increase by 2 units. The product will be,

_{z - 2} X^{A - 8}

After the last two

γ

decays, the atomic number and the mass number will remain unchanged. Final daughter product is

_{z - 2} X^{A - 8}

The assertion is therefore correct and the reason is also correct which is the correct explanation for assertion.

The answer is option (A).

$z^{X^{A}}$ undergoes $2 α -$ decays. $2 β -$ decays and $2 γ -$ decays and the daughter product is $z - 2^{Y^{A - 8}}$

In $α -$ decay the mass number decreases by $4$ and atomic number decreases by $2$ In $β -$ decay the mass number remains unchanged, but atomic number increases by $1$ only.

$z^{X^{A}}$ undergoes $2 α -$ decays. $2 β -$ decays and $2 γ -$ decays and the daughter product is $z - 2^{Y^{A - 8}}$
