<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:

The product formed in the nuclear reaction are californium-245 nucleus and a neutron particle.
The unit for work is ENERGY
<span>The correct answer is the first option. Electron is not found in the nucleus of an atom. The sub-atomic particles of an atom are the
proton, electron and the neutron. An electron has a charge of -1 and a
smaller mass than a proton. Proton has the same mass with the neutron. The
ratio between the mass of a proton and an electron is about 2000. An electron
has an equal value but negative charge with the proton.</span>
