    Which one of the following is a possible nuclear reaction?

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

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

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

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

    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.
