$37$ Rutherford equals

The rate of disintegration of a radioactive sample can be increased by:

$A$ radioactive decay chain starts from $_{93}Np^{237}$ and produces $_{90}Th^{229}$ by successive emissions. The emitted particles can be:

Before the neutrino hypothesis,the beta decay process was thought to be the transition $n \to p + e^-$. If this were true,show that if the neutron was at rest,the proton and electron would emerge with fixed energies and calculate them. Experimentally,the electron energy was found to have a large range.

$A$ radioactive element ${}_{92}^{242}X$ emits two $\alpha$-particles,one electron,and two positrons. The product nucleus is represented by ${}_{P}^{234}Y$. The value of $P$ is $..................$

Assertion : The ionising power of $\beta$-particle is less compared to $\alpha$-particles but their penetrating power is more.
Reason : The mass of $\beta$-particle is less than the mass of $\alpha$-particles.
