When a nucleus in an atom undergoes a radioactive decay, the electronic energy levels of the atom:

1. do not change for any type of radioactivity
2. change for  α  and  β -radioactivity but not for  γ -radioactivity
3. change for  α -radioactivity but not for others
4. change for  β -radioactivity but not for others

Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen whose nucleus triton contains 2 neutrons and 1 proton. Free neutrons decay into p+e¯+ν¯. If one of the neutrons in Triton decays, it would transform into He3 nucleus. This does not happen. This is because;
 

1. triton energy is less than that of a Henucleus
2. the electron created in the beta decay process cannot remain in the nucleus
3. both the neutrons in Triton have to decay simultaneously resulting in a nucleus with 3 protons, which is not a Henucleus.
4. free neutrons decay due to external perturbations which is absent in Triton nucleus

The gravitational force between H-atom and another particle of mass m will be given by Newton's law \(F=\frac{GMm}{r^2},\) where r is
in km and

1. M=mproton+melectron.
2. M=mproton+melectron-\(\frac{B}{c^2}\) ( B=13.6 eV ).
3. M is not related to the mass of the hydrogen atom.
4. M=mproton+melectron-\(\frac{|V|}{c^2}\)  ( |V| = magnitude of the potential energy of electron in the H-atom).
