$A$ hypothetical radioactive nucleus decays according to the following series:
$A \xrightarrow{\alpha} A_1 \xrightarrow{\beta^-} A_2 \xrightarrow{\alpha} A_3 \xrightarrow{\gamma} A_4$
If the mass number and atomic number of $A$ are respectively $180$ and $72$,then the atomic number and mass number of $A_4$ will be respectively:

  • A
    $70, 172$
  • B
    $69, 171$
  • C
    $69, 172$
  • D
    $68, 172$

In a radioactive sample,${ }_{19}^{40} K$ nuclei decay into stable ${ }_{20}^{40} Ca$ nuclei with a decay constant of $4.5 \times 10^{-10} \text{ per year}$ or into stable ${ }_{18}^{40} Ar$ nuclei with a decay constant of $0.5 \times 10^{-10} \text{ per year}$. Given that in this sample,all the stable ${ }_{20}^{40} Ca$ and ${ }_{18}^{40} Ar$ nuclei are produced by the ${ }_{19}^{40} K$ nuclei only. In time $t \times 10^9 \text{ years}$,if the ratio of the sum of stable ${ }_{20}^{40} Ca$ and ${ }_{18}^{40} Ar$ nuclei to the radioactive ${ }_{19}^{40} K$ nuclei is $99$,the value of $t$ will be: [Given $\ln 10 = 2.3$]

If a heavy nucleus has an $N/Z$ ratio higher than that required for stability,then:

$_{86}A^{222} \to _{84}B^{210}$. In this reaction,how many $\alpha$ and $\beta$ particles are emitted?

The number of beta particles emitted by a radioactive substance is twice the number of alpha particles emitted by it. The resulting daughter nucleus is an

When $_{90}^{228}Th$ transforms to $_{83}^{212}Bi$,the number of emitted $\alpha$- and $\beta$- particles is,respectively:
