  1. In the nuclear decay given below:
    A
    X →
    A
    Y →
    A - 4
    B* →
    A - 4
    B,
    ZZ + 1Z - 1Z - 1

    the particles emitted in the sequence are
    1. γ, β, α
    2. β, γ, α
    3. α, β, γ
    4. β, α, γ
Correct Option: D

A
X →
A
Y:β ,
A
Y →
A - 4
B*:α
ZZ + 1Z + 1Z - 1

A - 4
B* →
A - 4
B:γ
Z - 1Z - 1

(β, α, γ) (∴ β =
0
e, α =
4
He,
12
mass  number and charge number of a nucleus remains unchanged during γ decay)
