Which of the following nuclear change is incorrect? a)`._(20)Ca^(40) + ._(0)n^(1) rarr ._(19)K^(40) + ._(1)H^(1)` b)`._(12)Mg^(24) + alpha rarr ._(14)Si^(27) + ._(0)n^(1)` c)`._(48)Cd^(113) + ._(0)n^(1) rarr ._(48)Cd^(112) + ._(-1)e^(0)` d)`._(20)Co^(43) + alpha rarr ._(21)Si^(46) + ._(1)H^(1)`

A

`._(20)Ca^(40) + ._(0)n^(1) to ._(19)K^(40) +._(1)H^(1)`

B

`._(12)Mg^(24) + ._(2)He^(4) to ._(14)Si^(27) + ._(0)n^(1)`

C

`._(48)Cd^(113) + ._(0)n^(1) to ._(48)Cd^(112) + ._(-1)e^(0)`

D

`._(20)Co^(43)+ ._(2)He^(4) to ._(21)Sc^(46) + ._(1)H^(1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
A nuclear reaction must be balanced in terms of atomic numbers and mass number. Hence, following reaction is unbalanced.
`._(48)Cd^(113) + ._(0)n^(1) to ._(48)Cd^(112) + ._(-1)e^(0)`
