Assertion `(A) : ` Nuclear isomers have same atomic number and same mass number but with different radioactive properties.
Reason `(R) : U_((A))` and `U_((Z))` are nuclear isomers.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The nuclear isomerism in the nuclei of same number and same atomic number arises due to different radioactive properties. The reason for nuclear isomerism' is the different energy states of two isomeric nuclei. One may be in the ground state and other in an excited state. The nucleus in the excited state will have different half-life.
