If one neutron is added to a helium nucleus, the result is:

  1. Lithium

  2. Helium

  3. Hydrogen

  4. Carbon


Correct Option: B

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the composition of a helium nucleus and how adding a neutron affects it.

A helium nucleus consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. When one neutron is added to a helium nucleus, the total number of neutrons becomes 3, while the number of protons remains the same at 2.

Therefore, the resulting nucleus is still a helium nucleus, with 2 protons and 3 neutrons. This means that the correct answer is B) Helium.
