To solve this problem, we need to understand the radioactive decay processes and the particles emitted during each decay. Let's analyze each decay process in List-I and match it with the appropriate emitted particles in List-II.
List-I:
(P)
(Q)
(R)
(S)
List-II:
One α particle and one β⁺ particle
Three β⁻ particles and one α particle
Two β⁻ particles and one α particle
One α particle and one β⁻ particle
One α particle and two β⁺ particles
Analysis:
Decay (P):
Uranium-238 decays to Protactinium-234.
The atomic number decreases by 1 (92 to 91), indicating the emission of a β⁺ particle (positron).
The mass number decreases by 4 (238 to 234), indicating the emission of an α particle.
Match: (1) One α particle and one β⁺ particle.
Decay (Q):
Lead-214 decays to Lead-210.
The atomic number remains the same (82), indicating no β decay.
The mass number decreases by 4 (214 to 210), indicating the emission of an α particle.
Match: (4) One α particle and one β⁻ particle.
Decay (R):
Thallium-210 decays to Lead-206.
The atomic number increases by 1 (81 to 82), indicating the emission of a β⁻ particle.
