The correct Answer is:
To determine which nuclide has a magic number of both protons and neutrons, we need to identify the magic numbers for protons and neutrons and then check the given options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Magic Numbers**: - Magic numbers for protons: 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 - Magic numbers for neutrons: 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option 1: Sn-115** - Protons (Z) = 50 (which is a magic number) - Neutrons (N) = 115 - 50 = 65 (not a magic number) - Conclusion: Does not satisfy both conditions. - **Option 2: Pb-206** - Protons (Z) = 82 (which is a magic number) - Neutrons (N) = 206 - 82 = 124 (not a magic number) - Conclusion: Does not satisfy both conditions. - **Option 3: Pb-208** - Protons (Z) = 82 (which is a magic number) - Neutrons (N) = 208 - 82 = 126 (which is a magic number) - Conclusion: Satisfies both conditions. - **Option 4: Sn-118** - Protons (Z) = 50 (which is a magic number) - Neutrons (N) = 118 - 50 = 68 (not a magic number) - Conclusion: Does not satisfy both conditions. 3. **Final Conclusion**: - The only nuclide that has magic numbers for both protons and neutrons is **Pb-208**. ### Answer: **Pb-208** (Option 3) has magic numbers for both protons and neutrons. ---
