22Ne nucleus, after absorbing energy, decays into two α-particles and an unknown nucleus. The unknown nucleus is
(A) nitrogen (B) carbon (C) boron (D) oxygen
Please read the guide .
Please answer the question in detail
The correct answer is option B) carbon
Explanation::
22Ne decays
α particle = He2+
Mass No = 4
p=2,n=2
So, New mass no. =22−8=14
Atomic No. =10−4=6
So, the new element is 6C14
