Vedclass · Answer

(A) To check the correctness of a nuclear reaction,we must ensure the conservation of atomic number $(Z)$ and mass number $(A)$.For option $A$: ${}_{96}Cm^{242} + {}_{2}He^{4} 	o {}_{97}Bk^{243} + 2({}_{0}n^{1})$.Checking atomic number: $96 + 2 = 98$ on the left,while $97 + 0 = 97$ on the right. Since $98 
eq 97$,the reaction is incorrectly balanced.For option $B$: ${}_{5}B^{10} + {}_{2}He^{4} 	o {}_{7}N^{13} + {}_{0}n^{1}$.$Z: 5+2 = 7$ (Correct); $A: 10+4 = 14$ and $13+1 = 14$ (Correct).For option $C$: ${}_{7}N^{14} + {}_{0}n^{1} 	o {}_{6}C^{14} + {}_{1}H^{1}$.$Z: 7+0 = 7$ and $6+1 = 7$ (Correct); $A: 14+1 = 15$ and $14+1 = 15$ (Correct).For option $D$: ${}_{14}Si^{28} + {}_{1}H^{2} 	o {}_{15}P^{29} + {}_{0}n^{1}$.$Z: 14+1 = 15$ (Correct); $A: 28+2 = 30$ and $29+1 = 30$ (Correct).Thus,option $A$ is the incorrectly matched reaction.
