Question

A deuteron is bombarded on 80¹⁶ nuclear and an x - = particle is emitted. The product nucleus is

Options

• `7^(N^14)`

• `7^(N^13)`

• `4^(Be^9)`

• `5^(B^10)`

Answer 1

`7^(N^14)`

Explanation:

80¹⁶ + 1D² `->` 2x⁴ + 2He⁴

A + 4 = 16 + 2  ∴ A = 18 – 4 = 14

Z + 2 = 8 + 1, Z = 9 – 2 = 7 = `7^(N^14)`
