Answer:
The correct answer is option A).
Step-by-step explanation:
The given reaction is a nuclear reaction.
We know that in a nuclear reaction , the indices on both the sides are conserved , i.e the total number of nucleons (A) and the total number of protons (Z) should be the same on the L.H.S and the R.H.S-
Total number of nucleons on L.H.S = 241+4 = 245.
Total number of nucleons on R.H.S = A+1
∴ A+1 = 241+4 = 245
∴ A=244
Total number of protons on L.H.S = 95+2 = 97.
Total number of protons on R.H.S = Z+0
∴ Z+0 = 97.
Z = 97.
Thus the element having A=244 and Z=97 should be the product of this nuclear reaction.
∴ ₉₇²⁴⁴Bk (option A) should be the required product of this reaction.
