Question

Among the following, the possible nuclear reaction is:

• A. \( ^{10}_5B + ^{4}_2He \rightarrow ^{13}_7N + ^{1}_1H \)
• B. \( ^{24}_Na + ^{1}_0n \rightarrow ^{20}_Ne + ^{4}_2He \)
• C. \( ^{239}_{93}Np \rightarrow ^{239}_{94}Pu + e^- + \overline{\nu} \)
• D. \( ^{11}_N + ^{1}_H \rightarrow ^{12}_C + e^- + \overline{\nu} \)

Hint:

In nuclear reactions, the total mass number and atomic number are conserved.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The nuclear reaction \( ^{10}_5B + ^{4}_2He \rightarrow ^{13}_7N + ^{1}_1H \) is valid as it satisfies the conservation of mass and atomic numbers.
Thus, the correct answer is Option 1.
