Th90232 emits 6α and 4β particles and gets converted into a lead. The mass number and atomic number of lead is _____
  1. 208,82
  2. 82,208
  3. 210,82
  4. 210,84

Solution

In a nuclear reaction, conservation of mass and conservation of charge follows in other words we can say that mass number and atomic number are conserved.

Th90232=6α24+4β10+Pb82208

Hence, the mass number and atomic number of lead is, 208 and 82.
