    Which one of the following is a possible nuclear reaction?

    A)  \[_{5}^{10}B+_{2}^{4}He\xrightarrow{{}}_{7}^{13}N+_{1}^{1}H\]

    B)  \[_{11}^{23}Na+_{1}^{1}H\xrightarrow{{}}_{10}^{20}Ne+_{2}^{4}He\]

    C)  \[_{93}^{239}Np\xrightarrow{{}}_{94}^{239}Pu+\text{-+}\overset{-}{\mathop{v}}\,\]

    D)  \[_{7}^{11}N_{1}^{1}H\xrightarrow{{}}_{6}^{12}C+\,{{}^{-}}+v\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In any nuclear reaction mass number and atomic number should remain conserved. Reaction (c) satisfies this condition. Also, for\[_{93}^{239}Np\], neutron to proton ratio is greater than\[1.52\], which makes it unstable.
