Question

Which one of the following nuclear transformation is (n, p ) type

• A. ${}_{3}L{i}^7{+}_1{H}^1{\to }_{4}B{e}^7{+}_0{n}^1$
• B. ${}_{33}A{s}^{75}+2H{e}^4{\to }_{35}B{r}^{78}{+}_0{n}^1$
• C. ${}_{83}B{i}^{209}{+}_1{H}^2{\to }_{84}P{0}^{210}{+}_0{n}^1$
• D. ${}_{21}S{c}^{45}{+}_0{n}^1{\to }_{20}C{a}^{45}{+}_1{H}^1$

Answer 1

The correct option is D ${}_{21}S{c}^{45}{+}_0{n}^1{\to }_{20}C{a}^{45}{+}_1{H}^1$

${}_{21}S{c}^{45}(n,p{)}_{20}C{a}^{45}$ according to Beath’s notation
