The atomic number is equal to number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom or vice-versa. For any atom, there is no change in number of protons either by adding or removal of electron.

Since, sodium is a metal, it has tendency to lose electron in the presence of non-metal i.e. chlorine. Thus, after lose of an electron, there is no change in the number of protons or number of protons will remain same.

Therefore, atomic number of metal is 11 which is also equal to the number of protons implies sodium will have 11 protons in its nucleus.

Which of the following correctly represents the transmutation in which a curium-242 nucleus is bombarded with an alpha particle
Alekssandra [29.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Transmutation is defined as the process in which one chemical isotope gets converted to another chemical isotope. The number of protons or neutrons in the isotope gets changed.

The chemical equation for the reaction of curium-242 nucleus with alpha particle (helium nucleus) follows:

_{96}^{242}\textrm{Cm}+_4^2\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{98}^{245}\textrm{Cf}+_0^1\textrm{n}

The product formed in the nuclear reaction are californium-245 nucleus and a neutron particle.
