Approved Tutor Answer10 Years agoAlpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical
to a helium nucleus. This is produced in the process of alpha decay. Helium atom is composed
of two electrons in orbit around a nucleus containing two protons along with either one or two
neutrons.

A nucleus X184 at rest emitt alpha particle With kinetic energy 9.0MeV. The product Nucleus is Y. The values of Binding energy per nucleon of alpha particle & Y differ by 1.5MeV. The values of Binding energy per nucleon of X & Y differ by (n÷230) MeV, then n is
