Physics 2014 JAMB Past Questions - Question 48: when 210/82Pb decays to 206/80Ph it emits
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
A
Explanation
when the alpha particle is emitted, the daughter nuclei has mass number decreased by units and atomic number decreased by 2 units. 210p/82b 206p/80b + 4/2He + energyWhen 210/82Pb decays to 206/80Ph, it emits an alpha particle.
