Subject: Inorganic Chemistry · Chapter: Nuclear Chemistry · Topic: Nuclear Reactions Q Value · Exam: NET DEC 2011 · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Easy

For the nuclear reactions.
\[ \text{(A)}\quad {}_4^8\mathrm{Be} \rightarrow 2\,{}_2^4\mathrm{He} \]
\[ \text{(B)}\quad {}_{36}^{80}\mathrm{Kr} \rightarrow 2\,{}_{18}^{40}\mathrm{Ar} \]
(Given masses: $^8\mathrm{Be} = 8.005300$, $^4\mathrm{He} = 4.002603$ and ${}_{36}^{80}\mathrm{Kr} = 79.81638$, ${}_{18}^{40}\mathrm{Ar} = 39.96238$) The correct statement is:
(a)(A) and (B) are both spontaneous fission processes.
(b)(A) is spontaneous fission but (B) is not.
(c)(B) is spontaneous fission but (A) is not
(d)Both (A) and (B) are not spontaneous fission processes.
