Question 27

The nucleus of uranium-238 (92238U{}^{238}_{92}\text{U}92238​U) emits three alpha particles and two beta-minus particles to become a nucleus of an isotope of radium.

What is the nucleon number A A\,A and the proton number Z Z\,Z for the nucleus of this radium isotope?

A=226,Z=86A = 226, Z = 86A=226,Z=86

A=226,Z=88A = 226, Z = 88A=226,Z=88

A=232,Z=88A = 232, Z = 88A=232,Z=88

A=230,Z=90A = 230, Z = 90A=230,Z=90
