Assertion : Heavy water is used to slow neutron in nuclear reactor.

Reason : It does not react with slow neutron and mass of deuterium is comparable to the neutron.

4

Assertion : For an element generally $$N \geq Z$$ ( $$N=$$ number of neutrons, $$Z=$$ atomic number)

Reason : Neutrons always experience attractive nuclear force.

6

Assertion If electrons in an atom were stationary, then they would fall into the nucleus.

Reason Electrostatic force of attraction acts between negatively charged electrons and positive nucleus.

7

Assertion Radioactive nuclei emits $$\beta^{-}$$-particles.

Reason Electrons exist inside the nucleus.

8

A nuclear explosive is designed to deliver $$1 \mathrm{~MW}$$ power in the form of heat energy. If the explosion is designed with nuclear fuel consisting of $$U^{235}$$ to run a reactor at this power level for one year, then the amount of fuel needed is (Given energy per fission is $$200 \mathrm{~MeV}$$)

Assertion : A beam of charged particles is employed in the treatment of cancer.

Reason : Charged particles on passing through a material medium lose their energy by causing ionization of the atoms along their path.

10

Assertion : In He-Ne laser, population inversion takes place between energy levels of neon atoms.

Reason : Helium atoms have a metastable energy level.

11

Assertion : In $$\alpha$$-decay atomic number of daughter nucleus reduces by 2 units from the parent nucleus.

Reason : An $$\alpha$$-particle carries four units of mass.
