Question

please show work The isotope^235_92 U is radioactive and decays in a series to^237_98 Nb. In this series the particles ejected from the nucleus are three alpha particles and one beta - minus particle two alpha particle and two beta - minus particles. one alpha particle and four beta - minus particles. four alpha particles and one beta-minus particles one alpha particle and three beta-minus particles Show detailed steps in the analysis In a^93_41 Nb  neutral atom, how many protons, neutrons, and electrons are found there? 41,52,93 93,41,93 52,41,41 41,52,41 41,52,0 Iodine-131 is an isotope of iodine(Z = 53)used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism, as it readily absorbeb into the cells of the thyroid gland. With a half - life of 8 days, it decays into an excited Xenon -131 atom (Z =54).Explain. Gamma decay Beta-plus decay Electrons capture Alpha decay Beta- minus decay

Explanation / Answer

23592 U ---> 22790 Nb +2 42 He + 2 0-1 e

option(B) is correct.

(9)Number of protons = 41

Number of neutrons = 93 -41 = 52

Number of electrons = 41

option(D) is correct

(10)beta minus decay
