A nitrogen nucleus bombarded with an alpha particle produces an oxygen nucleus and a proton. The nuclear reaction for this process is \(^4_2H + ^{14}_2N \to ^{17}_{8}O + ^1_1H + Q\). Which of the following statements about the reaction is not correct?
the bombardment results into a nucleus with greater proton number
it is an induced nuclear reaction
it is a natural radioactive decay
the sum of the final nucleon numbers
Correct answer is B
This is an example of artificial decay.
Induced radioactivity, also called artificial radioactivity or man-made radioactivity, is the process of using radiation to make a previously stable material radioactive.
