List-I shows different radioactive decay processes and List-II provides possible emitted particles. Match each entry in List-I with an appropriate entry from List-II, and choose the correct option.

  List-I   List-II
P 23892U23491Pa 1 one α particle and one β+ particle
Q 21482Pb21082Pb 2 three β- particles and one α particle
R 21081Tl20682Pb 3 two β- particles and one α particle
S 22891Pa22488Ra 4 one α particle and one β- particle
    5 one α particle and two β+ particles
P4, Q3, R2, S1
P4, Q1, R2, S5
P5, Q3, R1, S4
P5, Q1, R3, S2
Solution:

In α decay mass number decreases by 4 unit and atomic number decreases by 2 unit.

In β- decay mass number does not change but atomic number increases by 1 unit.

In β+ decay mass number does not change but atomic number decreases by 1 unit.

So for

P 23892U23491Pa.

Number of alpha particle =238-2344=1. Due to alpha particle, atomic number should decrease by 2 but it has decreased by 1 only, therefore an additional β- decay is required, then net change in atomic number will be -2+1=-1. Therefore, P4.

Q 21482Pb21082Pb.

Number of alpha particle =214-2104=1. Due to alpha particle, atomic number should decrease by 2, but there is no change in atomic number, which means two additional β- decay is required, then net change in atomic number will be -2+2=0. Therefore, Q3.

R 21081Tl20682Pb.

Number of alpha particle =210-2064=1. Due to alpha particle, atomic number should decrease by 2, but atomic number has increased by 1, which means three additional β- decay is required, then net change in atomic number will be -2+3=1. Therefore, R2.

S 22891Pa22488Ra.

Number of alpha particle =228-2244=1. Due to alpha particle, atomic number should decrease by 2, but atomic number has decreased by 3, which means one additional β+ is required, then net change in atomic number will be -2-1=-3. Therefore, S1.
