The synthetically produced radioactive noble gas by the collision of \({ }_{98}^{249} \mathrm{Cf}\) with \({ }_{20}^{48} \mathrm{Ca}\) is

  1. A radon
  2. B radium
  3. C oganesson
  4. D xenon
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) oganesson

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The reaction of \({ }_{98}^{249} \mathrm{Cf}\) and \({ }_{20}^{40} \mathrm{Ca}\) takes place as follows
\({ }_{98}^{249} \mathrm{Cf}+{ }_{20}^{40} \mathrm{Ca} \longrightarrow{ }_{118}^{294} \mathrm{Og}+3{ }_0^1 n\)
Thus, the radioactive noble gas formed is Oganesson \((Z=118)\)
