The number of beta particles emitted by radioactive substance is twice the number  of alpha particle emitted by it. The resulting daughter is an 

  • isobar of parent

  • isomer of parent

  • isotone of parent

  • isotope of parent

Solution

D.

isotope of parent

Let the radioactive transition is given by
straight X presubscript straight Z presuperscript straight A space rightwards arrow with negative straight alpha on top space space straight X presubscript straight Z minus 2 end presubscript presuperscript straight A minus 4 end presuperscript space space rightwards arrow with negative 2 straight beta space on top space straight X presubscript straight Z presuperscript straight A minus 4 end presuperscript
The atoms of an element having a same atomic number but a differnent mass number are called isotopes.
So, straight X presubscript straight Z presuperscript straight A space and space straight X presubscript straight Z presuperscript straight A minus 4 end presuperscript space are space isotopes.
