The correct order of ionizing capacity of $\alpha ,\;\beta $ and $\gamma - $ rays is
$\alpha > \gamma > \beta $
$\alpha > \beta > \gamma $
$\alpha < \beta < \gamma $
$\alpha > \beta > \gamma $
A radioactive nucleus undergoes $\alpha$- emission to form a stable element. What will be the recoil velocity of the daughter nucleus if $V$ is the velocity of $\alpha$-emission and $A$ is the atomic mass of radioactive nucleus
An element $A$ decays into element $C$ by a two step process :
$A \to B + {\;_2}H{e^4}$
$B \to C + \;2{e^ - }$
Then
A radioactive nucleus $_{92}{X^{235}}$decays to $_{91}{Y^{231}}$. Which of the following particles are emitted
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-$II$ |
($P$) ${ }_{92}^{238} U \rightarrow{ }_{91}^{234} \mathrm{~Pa}$ | ($1$) one $\alpha$ particle and one $\beta^{+}$particle |
