Assertion: 90Sr from the radioactive fall out from a nuclear bomb ends up in the bones of human beings through the milk consumed by them. It causes impairment of production of red blood cells.
Reason: The energies β-particles emitted in the decay of 90Sr damage the bone marrow.

45840 years
Which one of the following is a possible nuclear reaction?
C.
According to the conservation of mass number
10 + 4 = 13 + 1
According to conservation of charge number
5 + 2 ≠ 7 + 1
hence (a) is not possible
According to conservation of mass number
93 = 94 - 1
According to conservation of charge number,
239 = 239
Hence (c) is not possible
According to conservation of mass number,
11 + 1 = 12
According to conservation of charge number,
7 + 1 ≠ 6 - 1
Hence (d) is not possible
also satisfies both the conservation of mass number and charge. However, 23Na is a very stable isotope and nuclear reaction will be very difficult. The formation of Pu from Np is well known. It satisfies the conditions of conservations and Np is also very unstable. Therefore (c) is the only correct answer.
