Match the following
(
)
| List-I | List-II | ||
| (a) | n \rightarrow p + \ldots | (p) | \alpha-decay |
| (b) | p \rightarrow n + \ldots | (q) | Positron emission |
| (c) | x-ray emission | (r) | \beta^{-} emission |
| (d) | {}^{226}_{88}Ra \rightarrow {}^{222}_{86}Rn + \ldots | (s) | K electron capture |
Options
- A(\mathrm{a} \rightarrow \mathrm{r}, \mathrm{b} \rightarrow \mathrm{q}, \mathrm{c} \rightarrow \mathrm{q}, \mathrm{d} \rightarrow \mathrm{s})
- Ba (\rightarrow \mathrm{q}, \mathrm{b} \rightarrow \mathrm{r}, \mathrm{c} \rightarrow \mathrm{s}, \mathrm{d} \rightarrow \mathrm{p})
- C(\mathrm{a} \rightarrow \mathrm{r}, \mathrm{b} \rightarrow \mathrm{q}, \mathrm{c} \rightarrow \mathrm{s}, \mathrm{d} \rightarrow \mathrm{p})
- Da (\rightarrow) q, b (\rightarrow) s, c (\rightarrow) r, d (\rightarrow) p
Correct answer
C. (\mathrm{a} \rightarrow \mathrm{r}, \mathrm{b} \rightarrow \mathrm{q}, \mathrm{c} \rightarrow \mathrm{s}, \mathrm{d} \rightarrow \mathrm{p})
Step-by-step solution
a: () This represents the decay of a neutron into a proton, which is ()-emission (()).
- b: p ()... This represents the decay of a proton into a neutron, which can be Positron emission (q).
- c: x-ray emission X-ray emission is often associated with K electron capture (s), where an inner electron is captured by the nucleus, leading to characteristic X-rays.
- d: This is an example of a-decay (p), as the atomic number decreases by 2 and the mass number by 4.
Matching these gives: . This corresponds to option (3).
