    The following equation represents induced transmutation \[_{4}B{{e}^{9}}_{2}H{{e}^{4}}{{\xrightarrow{{}}}_{6}}{{C}^{12}}+X\] In this equation, X represents

    A)  one \[{{\beta }^{-}}\]particle   

    B)  \[\alpha \]-particle

    C)  a positron       

    D)  a neutron

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[_{4}B{{e}^{9}}{{+}_{2}}H{{e}^{4}}{{\xrightarrow{{}}}_{6}}{{C}^{12}}+X\] From conservation of mass number, mass number of \[X=9+4-12=L\]. Similarly, atomic number of \[X=4+2-6=0\] So, X is \[_{0}{{X}^{1}}\], ie, neutron \[{{(}_{0}}{{n}^{1}})\].
