Question:

In the nuclear reaction: $X(n, \alpha)_3 L i^7$ the term X will be 3

Options:

${ }_5 B^{10}$

${ }_5 B^9$

${ }_5 B^{11}$

${ }_2 He^4$

Correct Answer:

${ }_5 B^{10}$

Explanation:

$X(n, \alpha){ }_3^7 L i \Rightarrow{ }_Z X^A+{ }_0 n^1 \rightarrow 3 L i^7+{ }_2 He^4$

Z = 3 + 2 = 5 and A = 7 + 4 – 1 = 10

∴ ${ }_5 X^{10} = { }_5 B^{10}$
