- \( Be^{11} \)
- \( B^{10} \)
- \( B^{9} \)
- \( C^{12} \)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In this reaction, the nucleus Y undergoes a nuclear transformation, and by analyzing the atomic mass and number of the particles involved, we deduce that the resultant nucleus is \( B^{10} \).
