When ( ^{53}_{26}Fe ) undergoes a single beta emission, which of the following is produced?

( ^{54}_{26}Fe )

( ^{53}_{25}Mn )

( ^{54}_{27}Co )

( ^{53}_{27}Co )

Answer explanation

When (^{53}_{26}Fe) undergoes beta emission, it transforms into (^{53}_{25}Mn), as the atomic number increases by 1 while the mass number remains the same.

The alpha decay of ( ^{238}_{92}U ) produces an atom with a mass number of...

234

236

238

240

Answer explanation

The alpha decay of uranium-238 (^{238}_{92}U) results in an atom with a mass number of 234, as the alpha particle has a mass number of 4 and the remaining atom has a mass number of 238-4=234.
