Manipal Centre of Natural Sciences collaborates with GSI-lessen to discover 4 new atomic nuclei
Q. Manipal Centre of Natural Sciences has collaborated with GSI-lessen Germany to discover 4 new atomic nuclei to be added to chart of nuclides namely:- Published on 15 Sep 15a. one isotope each of heavy elements berkelium and neptunium and two isotopes of the element americium.
b. one isotope each of heavy elements americium and neptunium and two isotopes of the element berkelium.
c. one isotope each of heavy elements berkelium and americium and two isotopes of the element neptunium
d. None of the above
ANSWER: one isotope each of heavy elements berkelium and neptunium and two isotopes of the element americium.
Newly discovered exotic nuclei are a result of study to develop new methods of synthesis for super heavy elements. Other participants included scientists from Justus Liebig University Giessen, Germany, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA and the joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Russia. This new technique will pave the way for advancement of a field of science called experimental physics
