Complete the following nuclear reaction: <br> \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ — Nuclear Chemistry and Radioactivity Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

The notation $(n, \gamma)$ denotes neutron capture followed by gamma emission. The reaction is ${}_{25}\text{Mn}^{55} + {}_0\text{n}^1 \to \text{Product} + \gamma$. The mass number increases by 1 ($55+1=56$), and atomic number remains 25. Thus, the product is ${}_{25}\text{Mn}^{56}$. Therefore, correct answer is D.
