In the decay sequence: U 92 238 → - x 1 T h 90 234 → - x 2 P a 91 234 → - x 3 Z   234…
In the decay sequence:
and are the particles/ radiation emitted by the respective isotopes. The correct option(s) is/are:
is an isotope of uranium.
is .
will deflect towards the negatively charged plate.
is -ray.
Solution
\({ }_{92}^{238} U \xrightarrow{{ }_2 H e^4}{ }_{90}^{234} \mathrm{Th} \xrightarrow{{ }_{-1} e^o}{ }_{91}^{234} \mathrm{~Pa} \xrightarrow{{ }_{-1} e^o}{ }_{92}^{234} Z \xrightarrow{{ }_2 \mathrm{He}^4}{ }_{90}^{230} \mathrm{Th}\)
\(x_1=\alpha\) since positively charged so, will attracted by negative plate.
\(x_2=\beta\) negatively charged and attracted by positive plate
\(x_3=\beta\) negatively charged and attracted by positive plate
\(x_4=\alpha\) since positively charged so, will attracted by negative plate.
\(\mathrm{U}\) and \(\mathrm{Z}\) have the same atomic number so they are isotope.
