The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the effect of a photon of hard gamma radiation knocking out a proton from the magnesium nucleus. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Nucleus**: The nucleus in question is magnesium, represented as \( _{12}^{24}\text{Mg} \). Here, 12 is the atomic number (number of protons) and 24 is the mass number (total number of protons and neutrons). 2. **Understand the Effect of the Photon**: A photon of hard gamma radiation can provide enough energy to knock out a proton from the nucleus. When a proton is knocked out, the atomic number decreases by 1, and the mass number also decreases by 1. 3. **Calculate the New Atomic Number and Mass Number**: - **New Atomic Number**: \[ 12 - 1 = 11 \] - **New Mass Number**: \[ 24 - 1 = 23 \] 4. **Identify the New Element**: The new nucleus formed after knocking out a proton will have an atomic number of 11 and a mass number of 23. The element with atomic number 11 is sodium (Na). 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the nucleus formed after the photon knocks out a proton from magnesium \( _{12}^{24}\text{Mg} \) is \( _{11}^{23}\text{Na} \). ### Final Answer: The correct answer is sodium, represented as \( _{11}^{23}\text{Na} \).
