2311Na + Proton → pqX + alpha particle What are the values of p and…

²³₁₁Na + Proton → ^p_qX + alpha particle
What are the values of p and q respectively in the equation above?

A.
10 and 20
B.
12 and 24
C.
20 and 10
D.
24 and 12

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

²³₁₁Na + Proton → ^p_qX + alpha particle
Represent;²³₁₁Na + ¹₁P → ^p_qX + ⁴₂He
Thus from the above equations, p = 20 and q = 10
