Question
The $4n+1$ series (Neptunium series) is unique among the four disintegration series. Which of the following characteristics distinguishes it from the other three natural series?
Answer: B
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Neptunium series ($4n+1$) is an artificially created series (starts with Pu-241/Np-237) and uniquely terminates at the stable isotope ${}_{83}^{209}Bi$, unlike the three natural series which all terminate at an isotope of Lead (${}_{82}Pb$).
