​Q18. A radioactive element 90X238​ decays into 83Y222, then the number of  β  - particles emitted are 

        (1) 1                                                  (2) 2

        (3) 4                                                  (4) 6

Dear Student 

X23890Y22283now we have to find number of β-particle 1) no of α-particle = 238-2224                                    =164 =42) no ofβ-particle = 83 - (90-4*2)                                     = 83-82                                      = 1   
So option no. (1) is correct
