Identify the unknown isotope X in the following decays.
Part A
234U→X+α.
(1) 235U
(2)230Th
(3)228Th
(4)239Pu
Part B
32P→X+e−
(1)32S
(2)30P
(3)35Cl
(4)31P
Part C
X→30Si+e+
(1)32S
(2)30P
(3)35Cl
(4)31P
Part D
24Mg→X+γ
(1)24Na
(2)23Na
(3)24Mg
(4)26Al
alpha particle = 4He2
if alpha particle release them mass will decrease by 4 and atomic number decrease by 2
234U ---> 230Th + 4He
part b ) e- = 0H-1 it increase the atomic number by +1
32P --- > 32S + 0H-1
part c ) positron decay , 0H+1
30P15 ---> 30Si14 + 0H+1
part d )
gamma decay doesnot in mass and atomic number
24Mg ----> 24mg + gamma
