Which one of the following is a possible nuclear reaction?

Options

  1. A₅¹⁰ ~B + ₂^4 He ₇¹³ ~N + ₁^1 H
  2. B₁₁²³ Na + ₁^1 H ₁₀²⁰ Ne + ₂^4 He
  3. C₉₃²³⁹ ~Np ₉₄²³⁹ Pu + ⁻+ v
  4. D₇¹¹ ~N + ₁^1 H ₆¹² C + ⁻+ v .

Correct answer

C. ₉₃²³⁹ ~Np ₉₄²³⁹ Pu + ⁻+ v

Step-by-step solution

According to conservation of mass number 10+4=13+1 According to conservation of charge number, 5+2 7+1 Hence (1) is not possible. According to conservation of charge number, 93=94-1 According to conservation of mass number, 239=239 Hence (3) is possible. According to conservation of mass number, 11+1=12 According to conservation of charge number, 7+1 6-1 Hence (4) is not possible. ₁₁²³ Na + ₁^1 H also satisfies both the conservation of mass number and charge. However, ²³ Na is a very stable isotope and nuclear reac
