STANDARD Physics Nuclear Reactions MCQ Question
In the given reactions, which of the following nuclear fusion reaction is not possible?
¹³₆C + ¹₁H → ¹⁴₆C + 4.3 MeV
¹²₆C + ¹₁H → ¹³₇N + 2 MeV
¹⁴₆C + ¹₁H → ¹⁵₈O + 7.3 MeV
²³⁵₉₂U + ⁰₁n → ¹⁴⁰₅₄Xe + ⁹⁴₃₈Sr + 3 ⁰₁n + 200 MeV
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Option (A) does not satisfy the condition of conservation of atomic number, as the sum of Z of reactants is 7 and that of products is 6. Therefore, (A) cannot represent any nuclear reaction.
