Explanation
Lesser the mass, greater is the penetrating power.
By loss of α − particle,, n / p ratio falls to lie within the stability belt.
As Z for Po is greater by 2 than Z for Pb, it is two positions on the right of Pb.
On emitting α − particle,Z decrease by 2 and A decreases by 4.
Both α β− and rays undergo deflection.
Age of geological formations is estimated by U – Pb method.
X- rays are not deflected by electric and magnetic fields.
p32 and not p33 is used in the treatment of leukaemia.
Heavy water (D2O) is used as a moderator.
Basis of C- 14 dating is that ratio of C-14: C-12 in the atomosphere remains constant.
Loss of one α and two β particles produces isotope of original element.
