A radioactive element forms its own isotope after 3 consecutive disintegrations.The particles emitted are

Answer»

3 `BETA`- particles
2 `beta`- particles and 1 `alpha`- particle
2 `beta` - particles and 1 `gamma`- particle
2 `alpha`-particles and 1 `beta`- particle.

Solution :A NUCLEUS is DENOTED by `_(z)X^(A)`
An isotope should have same Z.
`alpha`- particle = `._(2)He^(4)`, `beta`- particle = `._(-1)beta^(0)`
The EMISSION of one `alpha` particle and the emission of TWO `beta` particles maintain the Z same.
Hence for isotope formation `2beta` particles and one `alpha` particle are emitted.
