Question 7: moderate

Consider the following nuclear reactions and select the correct statements from the options that
follow.

(A) Free neutron has higher mass than proton, therefore reaction I is possible
(B) Free proton has less mass than neutron, therefore reaction II is not possible for the free
proton
(C) Inside a nucleus, both decays (reaction I and II) are possible
(D) Inside a nucleus, reaction I is not possible but reaction II is possible.

1. A, B, C are correct
2. A, C, D are correct
3. A, B, D are correct
4. B, C, D are correct

Question 8: moderate

Mark the incorrect statement :

1. Following alpha or beta decay a nucleus reaches its ground state after emitting nuclear gamma rays.
2. A proton can not decay to a neutron in a nuclei because such decay has negative Q value of reaction.
3. A positron can capture electron resulting in gamma rays photon only.
4. In positive beta decay the emitted positron shows continuous distribution of kinetic energy.
