In a nuclear reaction, which of the following is conserved
Correct answer: C. Atomic number and mass number and energy
- A. Atomic number only
- B. Atomic mass only
- C. Atomic number and mass number and energy
- D. Energy only
Explanation
Correct. In many nuclear reactions, conservation laws dictate that both atomic number and mass number, as well as energy, are conserved In summary, the correct option is **c. Atomic number and mass number and energy** for conservation in nuclear reactions

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
