\( _{11} ^{23}Na + _0^1n → _{11}^{24}Na \)
The reaction above is an example of

A.

nuclear fission

B.

nuclear fusion

C.

artificial transmutation

D.

beta decay

Correct answer is C

Artificial transmutation. It is an artificially induced nuclear reaction caused by the bombardment of a nucleus with subatomic particles or small nuclei. It is also called artififcial radioactivity.

The diagram above represent the electron sub-level for

A.

carbon

B.

nitrogen

C.

oxygen

D.

flourine

Correct answer is C
