Question

The nuclear reaction involving the bombardment reaction, ${}_{20}^{40}Ca(n,\alpha )$ is as follows:

• A. ${}_{20}^{40}Ca{+}_0^{1}n{⟶}_{18}^{37}Ar{+}_2^{4}He$
• B. ${}_{20}^{40}Ca{+}_0^{1}n{⟶}_{17}^{37}Ar{+}_3^{4}He$
• C. ${}_{20}^{40}Ca{+}_0^{1}n{⟶}_{19}^{37}Ar{+}_1^{4}He$
• D. None of these

Answer 1
