Question

When ${}_{3}L{i}^7$ nuclei are bombarded by protons, and the resultant nuclei are ${}_{4}B{e}^8$ , the emitted particles will be.

• A. alpha particles
• B. beta particles
• C. gamma photons
• D. neutrons

Answer 1

The correct option is C gamma photons

${}_{3}L{i}^7{+}_1^{1}P{\Rightarrow }_{4}B{e}^8{+}_0^0\gamma \left(energy\right)$
As, the emitted particles is only energy and gamma photons radiation is nothing but energy so, option C is correct.
