Question
Chapter 20, Problem 9STP
To determine
The process in given figure is to be determined.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 9STP
C
Explanation of Solution
In alpha decay atomic number is increases by 2 and mass number is decreases by 4.
Conclusion:(a) is incorrect,because in nuclear fusion two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more nuclei but only mass number is changed.
(b) is also incorrect.
(d) is incorrectbecause only neuron and protons are transformed to other. No change in mass number and atomic number.
