Bombardment of ²⁸Si (Z = 14)with alpha particles may produce: A)"a proton and ³¹P (Z = 15)" B)"hydrogen and ³²S (Z = 16)" C)"a deuteron and ²⁷Al (Z = 13)" D)"helium and ³¹P (Z = 15)" E)"³⁵Cl (Z = 17)"

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bombardment of ²⁸Si with alpha particles (which are ⁴He nuclei) can lead to the emission of a proton, resulting in the formation of ³¹P. This is a typical nuclear reaction where the atomic number increases by one due to the emission of a proton.
