Interpretation:
The nuclear reaction which is carry out in Van De Graaf generators to generate neutrons is to be balanced.
Concept introduction:
Balancing is the process in which sum of mass number and sum of
Answer to Problem 2STP
Correct answer:
Option A.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
Balancing is the process in which sum of mass number and sum of atomic number on reactants side is equal to the sum of mass number and sum of atomic number on product side.
On the left side sum of the mass number and sum of the atomic number is equal to the sum of mass number and the sum of atomic number on product side.
The neutron is represented by
So, option A is correct because in this option mass number and atomic number are conserved.
Reasons for incorrect options:
B. Mass number is not conserved.
C. Deuteron is not present on reactant side.
D. Mass number is not conserved.
