Question
Chapter 39, Problem 36A
To determine
Whether the nucleus of an atom changes to other nucleus by the emission of alpha or beta particle.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The mass number of element reduces by four units and atomic number by two units due to emission of the alpha particle. The atomic number increases by one unit due to emission of one beta particle.
The neutron in the nucleus changes into proton due to emission of alpha or beta particle. The nucleus of an atom changes due to variation in the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.
The composition of nucleus of atom changes due to emission of alpha or beta particle. So, it can be truthfully said that nucleus of element becomes different nucleus due to emission of alpha or beta particle.
Conclusion:
Thus, the nucleus of element becomes different nucleus due to emission of alpha or beta particle.
