The items that are true of early nuclear science are "the first nuclear reactions were done in the 1880s" and "the first nucleus split was uranium-235." <span>The answers are letters A and D. It is impossible that nucleus was lost during the reaction as it will not follow the law of mass conservation.

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Elements present in group 1 are known as alkali metals. Whereas elements present in group 2 are called alkaline earth metals and elements from group 11 to 12 are transition metals.
As it is known that metals have the ability to lose electrons in order to attain stability and electricity is the flow of electrons from one point to another.
Therefore, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement it’s between groups 1 to 12 because it is metal best explains the probable position of the substance in the periodic table.
If you could explain what “merkels” are, the question would be more clear.
