Which of the following is not correct?

  1. A Nuclei of atoms participate in nuclear reactions
  2. B \({ }_{20} \mathrm{Ca}^{40}\) and \({ }_{18} \mathrm{Ar}^{40}\) are isotones
  3. C \(1 \mathrm{amu}\) of mass defect is approximately equal to \(931.5 \mathrm{MeV}\)
  4. D Uranium \(\left(\mathrm{U}^{238}\right)\) series is known as \((4 n+2)\) series
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \({ }_{20} \mathrm{Ca}^{40}\) and \({ }_{18} \mathrm{Ar}^{40}\) are isotones

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Isotones are the species having same number of neutrons. In \({ }_{20} \mathrm{Ca}^{40}\), number of neutrons is 20 and in \({ }_{18} \mathrm{Ar}^{40}\), number of neutrons \(=22\). So, \({ }_{20} \mathrm{Ca}^{40}\) and \({ }_{18} \mathrm{Ar}^{40}\) are not isotones.
