    In which of the following nuclear reaction X and Y are isotopes?

    A) \[X(\alpha ,\text{ }p)Y\]               

    B) \[X(\alpha ,\text{ n})Y\]

    C)  \[X(p,\text{ n})Y\]         

    D) \[X(d,\text{ p})Y\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Isotopes are the species having same atomic number and different atomic mass. \[_{a}{{X}^{b}}+\underset{\alpha -article}{\mathop{_{2}H{{e}^{4}}}}\,\to \underset{proton}{\mathop{_{1}{{H}^{1}}}}\,{{+}_{a+1}}{{Y}^{b+3}}(\alpha ,p\,type)\] \[_{a}{{X}^{b}}+\underset{\alpha -article}{\mathop{_{2}H{{e}^{4}}}}\,\to \underset{neutron}{\mathop{_{0}{{n}^{1}}}}\,{{+}_{a+2}}{{Y}^{b+3}}(\alpha ,n\,type)\] \[_{a}{{X}^{b}}+\underset{proton}{\mathop{_{1}{{H}^{1}}}}\,\to \underset{neutron}{\mathop{_{0}{{n}^{1}}}}\,{{+}_{a+1}}{{Y}^{b}}(p,n\,type)\] \[_{a}{{X}^{b}}+\underset{deutron}{\mathop{_{1}{{H}^{1}}}}\,\to \underset{proton}{\mathop{_{1}{{H}^{1}}}}\,{{+}_{a}}{{Y}^{b+1}}(d,p\,\,type)\] Only in option \[X\]and Y have same atomic number and different atomic mass, hence\[X\] and Y are isotopes in nuclear reaction given in option .
