94Be + 11H → ___ + 42He A. 64LiB. 63BeC. 63He D. 63Li
Question
94Be + 11H → ___ + 42He A. 64LiB. 63BeC. 63He D. 63Li
Solution
This is a nuclear reaction and we can solve it by conserving the number of protons and neutrons before and after the reaction.
The notation A ZX represents a nuclide, where:
- Z is the atomic number (number of protons),
- A is the mass number (number of protons + number of neutrons),
- X is the chemical symbol.
For 94Be + 11H → ___ + 42He:
Before the reaction:
- The total number of protons is 9 (from Be) + 1 (from H) = 10.
- The total number of neutrons is 4 (from Be) + 1 (from H) - 9 (total protons) = -4.
After the reaction:
- The total number of protons is 10 - 2 (from He) = 8.
- The total number of neutrons is -4 + 2 (from He) = -2.
So, the missing nuclide must have 8 protons and -2 neutrons. However, the number of neutrons cannot be negative. Therefore, there seems to be a mistake in the given nuclear reaction.
