Which of the following statements is/are CORRECT?
1)The transuranium elements are created in a nuclear reaction sequence that begins with bombardment of a lighter nucleus with low energy helium nuclei.
2)A low energy neutron may be captured by a nucleus,giving a product in which the mass number is increased by one unit.
3)Nuclear reactions involving neutron capture followed by gamma ray emission are referred to as (n,$\gamma$)reactions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1) This statement is incorrect. The transuranium elements are created in a nuclear reaction sequence that begins with bombardment of a heavier nucleus with high energy particles, such as neutrons, protons, or alpha particles.
2) This statement is correct. When a low energy neutron is captured by a nucleus, the resulting product has its mass number increased by one unit, but the atomic number remains the same.
3) This statement is also correct. Nuclear reactions that involve neutron capture followed by gamma ray emission are indeed referred to as (n,γ) reactions. The letter gamma (γ) represents a gamma ray. The F1F1F1S1F1F1F1 represents an error in formatting or typo.
