    Which one of the following is a possible nuclear reaction?

    A) \[_{5}^{10}B+_{2}^{4}He\to _{7}^{13}N+_{1}^{1}H\]

    B) \[_{11}^{23}Na+_{1}^{1}H\to _{10}^{20}Ne+_{2}^{4}He\]

    C) \[_{93}^{239}Np\to _{94}^{239}Pu+{{\beta }^{-}}+\bar{v}\]

    D)   \[_{7}^{11}N+_{1}^{1}H\to _{6}^{12}C+{{\beta }^{-}}+v\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In any nuclear reaction mass number and atomic number should remain conserved. Reaction (c) satisfies this condition. Also for \[_{93}^{239}Np,\] neutron to proton ratio is greater than 1.52 which makes it unstable.
