Answer: The correct answer is option (A).
Explanation:
General representation of an element:[tex]^{A}_ZX[/tex]
A= Atomic mass of the element of X.
Z = Atomic number of the element of X
X = symbol of the element.
[tex]^{241}_{95}Am+^{4}_2He\rightarrow ^{A}_ZX+^{1}_0n[/tex]
According to Law of Conservation of Mass:
[tex]241+4=A+1[/tex]
A = 244
Charge is balanced on both the sides:
[tex]95+2=Z+0[/tex]
Z = 97
The element with the atomic number 97 is Berkelium. Hence, the correct answer is option (A).
