In a hypothetical fission reaction The identity of emitted particles (R) is :
- AProton
- BNeutron
- CElectron
- D-radiations
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Write the given nuclear reaction
We need to identify the particle .
- Use conservation of mass number
In any nuclear reaction, the total mass number must be conserved.
- Left side mass number:
- Right side mass number:
So,
So each emitted particle has mass number .
- Use conservation of atomic number
The total atomic number must also be conserved.
- Left side atomic number:
- Right side atomic number:
Thus,
So each emitted particle has atomic number .
- Identify the particle
A particle with:
- mass number
- atomic number
is a neutron.
Thus,
- Check options
- A: Proton ❌
- B: Neutron ✅
- C: Electron ❌
- D: -radiations ❌
Therefore, the correct option is B.
