A nuclide of an alkaline earth metal under goes radioactive decay by emission of the $\alpha$-particles in succession. The group of the periodic table to which the resulting daughter element would belong is:
  1. Gr. 4
  2. Gr. 6
  3. Gr. 14
  4. Gr. 16

Solution

After decay of radioactive element, the last element (stable) $\mathrm{Pb}$ is obtained which belongs to group 14 of periodic table.
