Question
When a nucleus with atomic number Z and mass number A undergoes a radioactive decayed process
Options
A.Both Z and A will decrease,If the process is decay
B.Z will decreases but A will not change, if the process is decay
C.Z will decreases but A will not change, if the process is decay
D.Z and A will remain unchaged, if the process is decay
Solution
α decay : 2He4, so both Z & A decreases
β+ decay : +1e0,
so A will not change but Z will change (decreases)
β- decay : -1e0,
so A will not change but Z will change (increases)
γ decay : no change in A & Z.
β+ decay : +1e0,
so A will not change but Z will change (decreases)
β- decay : -1e0,
so A will not change but Z will change (increases)
γ decay : no change in A & Z.
