Which of the following is not correct?
Options
- ANuclei of atoms participate in nuclear reactions
- B₂₀ Ca ⁴⁰ and ₁₈ Ar ⁴⁰ are isotones
- C1 amu of mass defect is approximately equal to 931.5 MeV
- DUranium ( U ²³⁸ ) series is known as (4 n+2) series
Correct answer
B. ₂₀ Ca ⁴⁰ and ₁₈ Ar ⁴⁰ are isotones
Step-by-step solution
Isotones are the species having same number of neutrons. In ₂₀ Ca ⁴⁰ , number of neutrons is 20 and in ₁₈ Ar ⁴⁰ , number of neutrons =22 . So, ₂₀ Ca ⁴⁰ and ₁₈ Ar ⁴⁰ are not isotones.
