An element X decays into element Z by two-step process. XrarrY+""_(2)^(4)He YrarrZ+2bare then

Answer»

X & Z are isobars
X& Y are ISOTOPES
X & Z are isotones
X & Z are isotopes

Solution :LET A and Z be the mass number and ATOMIC number of X respectively.
`""_(Z)^(A)Xoverset(alpha-"decay")rarr""_(Z-2)^(A-4)Y+""_(2)^(4)He`
`""_(Z-2)^(A-4)Yoverset(beta-"decay")rarr""_(Z)^(A-4)Z+2_(-1)e^(0)`
`therefore XandZ` are isotopes.
