If uranium `(` mass number 238 and atomic number 92`)` emits an `alpha-`paticle, the produc has mass number and atomic numberA. 236 and 92B. 234 and 90C. 238 and 90D. 236 and 90

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Emission of an `alpha-` particle means mass is decreased by 4 units and charge byy 2 units. Thus,
`._(92)U^(238)overset(-alpha)rarr._(90)U^(234)`
Thus, the mass number `=234`
Atomic number `=90`
