Under which conditions does the nucleus of an atom tend to radioactive?
Give a scientific explanation.
When the radiation coming out from a certain radioactive substance is passed through an electric field, marks are found at three places on the photographic plate placed in its path.
In the following fig. shows a radioactive source S in a thick lead container. The radiations pass through an electric field between the plates P and Q. Complete the diagram to show the paths of α , β and γ radiations.

Why is the source S placed in a thick lead container?
A certain nucleus A (mass number 238 and atomic number 92) is radioactive and becomes a nucleus B (mass number 234 and atomic number 90) by the loss of one particle.
What particle was emitted?
Two radioactive nuclei are represented by xAp and yAq and when p and q are mass numbers and x, y are the atomic number. How can the products be represented, i .e., what are the new values of p, q. x and y after the emission of an α-particle and a β-particle from A and B respectively.
From α, β and γ-rays, name the one which travels with the speed of light?
