The correct Answer is:
To determine which nuclear reactions are accompanied by the emission of neutrons, we will analyze each option by comparing the mass numbers and atomic numbers of the reactants and products. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option 1: Aluminium Bombarded with Helium** - Reactants: Aluminium (mass number 27, atomic number 13) + Helium (mass number 4, atomic number 2) - Products: Phosphorus (mass number 30, atomic number 15) + Neutron - Calculate the total mass number and atomic number for reactants: - Mass number: 27 (Al) + 4 (He) = 31 - Atomic number: 13 (Al) + 2 (He) = 15 - Calculate the total mass number and atomic number for products: - Mass number: 30 (P) + 1 (Neutron) = 31 - Atomic number: 15 (P) = 15 - Conclusion: Mass numbers are equal, atomic numbers are equal, indicating emission of a neutron. 2. **Option 2: Carbon Bombarded with Proton** - Reactants: Carbon (mass number 12, atomic number 6) + Proton (mass number 1, atomic number 1) - Products: Nitrogen (mass number 13, atomic number 7) - Calculate the total mass number and atomic number for reactants: - Mass number: 12 (C) + 1 (P) = 13 - Atomic number: 6 (C) + 1 (P) = 7 - Calculate the total mass number and atomic number for products: - Mass number: 13 (N) = 13 - Atomic number: 7 (N) = 7 - Conclusion: Mass numbers and atomic numbers are equal, indicating no emission of a neutron. 3. **Option 3: Phosphorus Decaying to Silicon** - Reactants: Phosphorus (mass number 30, atomic number 15) - Products: Silicon (mass number 30, atomic number 14) + Positron - Calculate the total mass number and atomic number for reactants: - Mass number: 30 (P) = 30 - Atomic number: 15 (P) = 15 - Calculate the total mass number and atomic number for products: - Mass number: 30 (Si) + 0 (Positron) = 30 - Atomic number: 14 (Si) + 1 (Positron) = 15 - Conclusion: Mass numbers and atomic numbers are equal, indicating no emission of a neutron. 4. **Option 4: Americium Bombarded with Helium** - Reactants: Americium (mass number 241, atomic number 96) + Helium (mass number 4, atomic number 2) - Products: Berkelium (mass number 244, atomic number 97) + Positron - Calculate the total mass number and atomic number for reactants: - Mass number: 241 (Am) + 4 (He) = 245 - Atomic number: 96 (Am) + 2 (He) = 98 - Calculate the total mass number and atomic number for products: - Mass number: 244 (Bk) + 0 (Positron) = 244 - Atomic number: 97 (Bk) + 1 (Positron) = 98 - Conclusion: There is a difference in mass numbers, indicating emission of a neutron. ### Final Answer: The nuclear reactions accompanied by the emission of neutrons are **Option 1 and Option 4**.

To determine which nuclear reactions are accompanied by the emission of neutrons, we will analyze each option by comparing the mass numbers and atomic numbers of the reactants and products. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option 1: Aluminium Bombarded with Helium** - Reactants: Aluminium (mass number 27, atomic number 13) + Helium (mass number 4, atomic number 2) - Products: Phosphorus (mass number 30, atomic number 15) + Neutron - Calculate the total mass number and atomic number for reactants: ...
