Vedclass · Answer

(B) The emission of an $\alpha$-particle $(_{2}He^{4})$ from a nucleus results in a decrease of $2$ in the atomic number $(Z)$ and $4$ in the mass number $(A)$.The nuclear reaction is: $_{92}U^{236} 	o _{90}X^{232} + _{2}He^{4}$.The number of protons $(Z)$ in the remaining nucleus is $92 - 2 = 90$.The number of neutrons $(N)$ is calculated as $A - Z = 232 - 90 = 142$.Therefore,the remaining nucleus has $142$ neutrons and $90$ protons.

If $_{92}U^{236}$ nucleus emits one $\alpha$-particle,the remaining nucleus will have
