Explanation

Let the radioactive substance be XZA

Radioactive transition is given by 

                           XZA  -a     XZ-2A-4 -2β    XZA-4

The atoms of element having same atomic number but different mass numbers are called isotopes.

So XZA and XZA-4 are isotopes.

 

Two radioactive material X1 and X2 have decay constants 5λ and λ respectively. If initially they have the same number of nuclei of X1to that of X2 will be 1eafter a time

Explanation

 

If N is the number of radioactive nuclei present at some instant, then

        N=N0e-λt

The constant N0 represents the number of radioactive nuclei at t=0

Now,            N1N2=e-λ1te-λ2t

or              N1N2=e-5λte-λt=e-4λt

but          N1N2=1e                      as provided

Therefore,    1e=1e4λt

or           4λt=1

or           t=14λ

 

Two nuclei have their mass numbers in the ratio of 1:3. The ratio of their nuclear densities would be

Explanation

 

Density of nuclear matter is indepent of mass number, so the required ratio is 1:1.

Alternative:

                  A1:A2=1:3

Their radii will be in the ratio 

             R0A11/3:R0A21/3=1:31/3Density= A43πR3 P A1 : P A2=143πR03.13=343πR0331/33

Their nuclear densities will be the same .
