\(^{27}_{13}Al\) + \(^{1}_{0}n\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(^{24}_{11}Na\) + X

A.

a proton

B.

a gamma ray

C.

a helium particle

D.

an alpha particle

Correct answer is D

\(^{27}_{13}Al\) + \(^{1}_{0}n\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(^{24}_{11}Na\) + \(^{b}_{a}X\)

a + 11 = 0 + 13 \(\Rightarrow\) a = 2

b + 24 = 1 + 27 \(\Rightarrow\) b = 4

\(^{b}_{a}X\) = \(^{4}_{2}\alpha\)

After three half lifes, the fraction of a radioactive material that has decayed is

A.

\(\frac{1}{8}\)

B.

\(\frac{1}{3}\)

C.

\(\frac{2}{3}\)

D.

\(\frac{7}{8}\)

Correct answer is D

I = \(\frac{1}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{1}{4}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{1}{8}\)

Fraction decayed = 1 - \(\frac{1}{8}\)

= \(\frac{7}{8}\)
