Nuclear Reactions & Q-value

A nuclear transformation is denoted by X (n,α) 37Li.X\,(n, \alpha)\,{}_{3}^{7}Li. Which of the following is the nucleus of element XX?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. X+01n→37Li+24HeX + {}_{0}^{1}n \to {}_{3}^{7}Li + {}_{2}^{4}He
  2. A=7+4−1=10A = 7 + 4 - 1 = 10, Z=3+2=5Z = 3 + 2 = 5
  3. So the answer is (a) 510B{}_{5}^{10}B.
