BITSAT2017ChemistryClassification of Elements and Periodicity in PropertiesActual
Consider the following radioactive decays I. U 92 ⟶ - α 90 Th and II. 90 Th ⟶ - α Ra 88 In which case group of parent and daughter elements remains unchanged.
Options
- AIn ( I )
- BIn ( II )
- CBoth in ( I ) and ( II )
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
A. In ( I )
Step-by-step solution
For the following radioactive decays I. U 92 ⟶ - α 90 Th and II. Th 90 ⟶ - α 88 Ra In both Uranium and Thorium belongs to IIIB group. ∵ Elements with atomic number 90 to 103 belongs to same group, i.e. III - B 3 rd group (i.e. actinoids).
