Question

In the given radioactive disintegration series,
$_{90}^{232} T h \to_{82}^{208} P b$
Calculate the value of (n+2) where value of n is number of isobars formed in this series emission of $β$ − particles.

Solution

$_{90}^{232} T h \to_{82}^{208} P b$

As mass is also changing along with atomic number it means $α$ particles are also emitted.

No of $α$ particles emitted
$1 α$ = $4 a m u$
$6 α$ = $24 a m u$
So atomic number must be decrease by 12 but it is decreasing only by 8
So $β$ particles emitted = 4
$I s o b a r s$ = nuclei having different atomic number but same mass number.
So, if mass number has to be same then it must be $β$ emission.
So, $5$ isobars are possible in total.

$A β ⟶ B β ⟶ C β ⟶ D β ⟶ E$

$n + 2$ = 7
