Question

A,B and C are isodiaphers while C,D and E are isobars. Calculate the difference of protons between A and E.

20682ABCDE.
Given: Isodiaphers and isobars are formed in successive α and β emission respectively.

Open in App
Solution

Isodiaphers have the same isotopic number (N-Z). Here N is the number of neutrons and Z is the number of protons.
Isobars have the same mass number and different atomic number.
Isodiaphers are formed by successive alpha emissions and isobars are formed by successive beta emission.
20682Aα 20280Bα 19878Cβ 19879Dβ 9880E
The difference between the number of protons in A and E is 8280=2.
