1. Answer: C
Characteristic α-particle is most ionising & least penetrating
meanwhile
characteristic γ-ray is least ionising & most penetrating
2. Answer: B
B X → X shows elements/nuclei
A
Both are
3. Answer: C
The decay equation from problem:
1
0 n → 11 p + −10e + 00ύ
1
0 nis neutron
1 p is proton
1
−1e is electron/β
0 -
0 ύ is antineutrino
0
4. Answer:
Isotope is a nucleus from same element, same number of
protons but different number of neutrons
So, from the problem let’s say initial nucleus is 20080 X
The 1st decay equation:
200
80 X → 42α + 200−4=196
80−2=78Y
5. Answer: D
Neptunium-236 with 93 protons → 23693Ne
1st decay equation from problem:
236
93 Ne → 42 α + 236−4=232
93−2=91 X
6. Answer: A
Same with No.3 where both proton and neutron are HADRON
with strong interaction
7. Answer: D
+e = 2(2/3 e) + (-1/3 e) = 4/3e – 1/3e = 3/3e = +1e
u = 2/3e e = 1,6 x 10-19 C/electrons
d = -1/3 e
s = -1/3 e
8. Answer: B
200
80 X neutrons = 120
9. Answer: D
Clear enough
10. Answer: C
Same with No.3
11. Answer: D

13. Answer: D
UP UP UP = 2/3e + 2/3e + 2/3e = 2e
14. Answer: C
β+decay equation:
1
1 p → 10n + +10e + 00υ
1
0 is neutron

1. (a)
This experiment called Rutherford experiment and led to the
atom model of Rutherford. The model said that an atom
comprised of proton and electron.
