Assertion (A) : Nuclide `AI_(13)^(30)` is less stable than `Ca_(20)^(40)`
Reason (R ) : Nuclide having odd number of proton and neuctrons are generally unstable

A

If both (A) and (R ) are correct, and (R ) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and (R ) are correct, but (R ) is not the correct explanation of (A)

C

If (A) is correct, but (R ) is incorrect.

D

If (A) is incorrect, but (R ) is correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When the `n//p` ratio is more than 1, then nuclei is unstable but when it is 1, then nuclei is stable. In `._(13)Al^(30),n//p=17//13=1.3(i.e.,` more than 1 , so less stable `)`, but in `._(20)Ca^(40), n//p1( ` more stable `)`
Nuclei with odd number of protons and neutrons are generally unstable.
