  • question_answer
                    In compound X (n, \[\alpha \]) \[\to \] \[_{3}L{{l}^{7}}\], the element X is:                                                                                           

    A)                 \[_{2}H{{e}^{4}}\]

    B)                 \[_{5}{{B}^{10}}\]

    C)                 \[_{5}{{B}^{9}}\]

    D)                 \[_{4}B{{e}^{11}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                              Key Idea: In a nuclear reaction conservation of both the charge number and mass number must hold.                 The given nuclear reaction can be written as                 \[_{Z}{{X}^{A}}+{{\,}_{0}}{{n}^{1}}\,\to \,{{\,}_{3}}L{{i}^{7}}+{{\,}_{2}}H{{e}^{4}}\]                 Conservation of mass number gives,                 A + 1 = 7 + 4                         \[\Rightarrow A=10\]                 Conservation of charge number gives,                 Z + 0 = 2 + 3                         \[\Rightarrow \]          Z = 5                 Hence, Z = 5, A = 10 correspond to Boron \[{{(}_{5}}{{B}^{10}})\].
