Question

${}_6{\text{C}}^{12}$ and ${}_1{\text{T}}^3$ are formed in nature due to the nuclear reaction of neutron with :

• A. ${}_7{\text{N}}^{14}$
• B. ${}_6{\text{C}}^{13}$
• C. ${}_2{\text{He}}^4$
• D. ${}_3{\text{Li}}^6$

Answer 1

The correct option is A ${}_7{\text{N}}^{14}$

In nature traces of tritium are present that is formed continuously in the upper atmosphere by the action of neutrons (produced by the action of cosmic radiation on the atmospheric gases) on atmospheric nitrogen.

${}_7{N}^{14}{+}_0{n}^1{\to }_6{C}^{12}{+}_1{T}^3$
