A nucleus with Z =92 emits the following in a sequence:
`alpha,beta^(-),beta^(-),alpha,alpha,alpha,alpha,alpha,beta^(-),beta^(-),alpha,beta^(+),beta^(+),alpha`. The Z of the resulting nucleus is
A. `76`
B. `78`
C. `82`
D. `74`
Correct Answer - B
`8 alpha` have been emitted
`4 beta^(-)` have been emitted
`2 beta^(+)` have emitted
`alpha` reduces atomic number by 2
`beta^(-)` increases atomic number by 1
`beta^(+)` increases by 1
So, `Z_(eff) = 92 - (8 xx 2) + (4 xx 1) - (2 xx 1) = 96 - 18 = 78`
Correct Answer - B
Since almost, whole the mass of an atom is in the nucleus,
Mass of F nucleus = Mass of F atom
`=(19)/(6.02xx10^(23))g`
`=3.15xx10^(-23)g`
(At. Mass of F...
Correct Answer - D
Number of nuclei decreases experientially
`N=N_(0)e^(-lambdat)` and Rate of decay `(-(dN)/(dt))=lambdaN`
Therefore, decay process lasts upto `t=oo`. Therefore a given nucleus may decay at any time after...
Correct Answer - A
`4 ._(2)He^(4) rarr _(8)O^(16)`
Mass defect `=4 xx 4.0026 -15.834 a.m.u.=0.1764 a.m.u.`
Total energy released `=0.1764 xx 931 `MeV
Energy released /Nucleon`=(0.1764 xx 931)/(16)=10.24 `MeV
Correct Answer - D
When an `alpha` particle of the mass m moving with velocity v bombards on a heavy nucleus of charge Ze, then there will be no less of...
Correct Answer - B
Momentum remains constant,
`K=(p^(2))/(2m)or Kprop(1)/(m)implies(K_(n))/(K_(alpha))=(m_(alpha))/(m_(n))=(4)/(206)=(2)/(103)`
`therefore` Kinetic energy of the residual nucleus
`K_(n)=((2)/(103))K_(alpha)=((2)/(103))E`
Correct Answer - A
We know that `alpha` particle carries two units of positve charge and four units of mass In `alpha` decays charge number of parent nucleus decreses by 2...
Correct Answer - A
Arrange the data as follows :
`alpha-(7)/(2), alpha-3, alpha-(5)/(2),alpha-2, alpha-(1)/(2),alpha+(1)/(2),alpha+4,alpha+5`
Median `=(1)/(2)` [value of 4th item+value of 5th item]
`therefore " Median"=(alpha-2+alpha-(1)/(2))/(2)=(2alpha-(5)/(2))/(2)=alpha-(5)/(4)`
