Question
When a Uranium 235 nucleus emits an alpha particle, which of the following is true about its daughter nucleus? Question 1 options:
The number of neutrons in the daughter nucleus is equal to those of parent nucleus
Neither the mass, charge, number of protons nor the number of neutrons of the daughter nucleus are the same as those of its parent.
The number of protons in the daughter nucleus is equal to those of parent nucleus
The charge of the daughter nucleus is equal to the parent nucleus
The mass of the daughter nucleus is equal to the parent nucleus
Explanation / Answer
U-235 ---> He + Th-231
92 2 (92-2) (number of proton)
235 4 (235-4) (number of neutron)
The number of neutrons in the daughter nucleus is equal to those of parent nucleus
Number of neutrons are not same
False
Neither the mass, charge, number of protons nor the number of neutrons of the daughter nucleus are the same as those of its parent.
Charge is 0 for both
False
The number of protons in the daughter nucleus is equal to those of parent nucleus
False
The charge of the daughter nucleus is equal to the parent nucleus
True
The mass of the daughter nucleus is equal to the parent nucleus
False
