In the nuclear reaction X(n, alpha)3 Li^...

In the nuclear reaction `X(n, alpha)_3 Li^7` , identify X.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The equation of the reaction : `._ZX^A + ._0n^1 to ._3Li^7 + ._2He^4`
using the conservation laws,
A+1=7+4 or, A=10
and Z+0 =3+2 or , Z=5
These are the Z and A values of boron (B).
`therefore` The unknown element , `X=._5B^10` (boron nuclide)
