Answer

(a) 92238Pα 90234Q2β 92234R^{238}{92}\text{P} \overset{\alpha} \longrightarrow \space ^{234}{90}\text{Q} \overset{2\beta} \longrightarrow \space ^{234}_{92}\text{R}

As P and R have same atomic number and different mass number hence they are called isotopes.

(c) β radiation is used in carbon dating.
