In an artificial transmutation process,a nucleus of Be-9 absorbs a proton,emits a particle, and is converted into Li-6.What was the particle emitted?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In this process, a proton is absorbed by the nucleus of Be-9, causing it to become unstable and emit an alpha particle (which is a type of particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons). The resulting nucleus is Li-6. Therefore, the correct answer is D, an alpha particle.
