The correct option is A. Rutherford model of the atom consider an atom to be made up of a central nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. The nucleus is considered to be tiny, heavy and its positively charged while the electrons are negatively charged. The shortcoming of this model is that it was not able to explain how the positive nucleus was not able to attract the negative electrons and pull them inside the nucleus.

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.
