Answer Key : (c) -

(c)

1. False. The electronic configuration of  (atomic number 30) is . There are no unpaired electrons, hence, it is diamagnetic

2. False. In  emission, the atomic number of daughter element is increased by 1, due to the basic conversion of neutron into proton in the nucleus

3. True. An -particle is . Hence, atomic number and mass number of daughter element are decreased by 2 and 4, respectively

4. False. There will occur an increase in atomic number by 2



Next Question :

The term nucleon refers to

a)

Electrons belonging to an atom that undergoes nuclear decay

b)

Electrons that are emitted from a nucleus in a nuclear reaction

c)

The nuclei of a specific isotope

d)

Both protons and neutrons
