Question

${}_7{N}^{14}+{}_{2}H{e}^4\to {}_8{O}^{17}$ $+$ _____.

• A. ${}_1{H}^1$
• B. ${}_{2}H{e}^4$
• C. ${}_6{C}^{1}4$
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

${}_1{H}^1$

The nuclear reaction ${}_7{N}^{14}+{}_{2}H{e}^4\to {}_8{O}^{17}+{}_1{H}^1$.
If true enter 1, else enter 0. is correct.
The sum of atomic numbers on LHS $=7+2=9$
The sum of atomic numbers on RHS $=8+1=9$
The sum of mass numbers on LHS $14+4=18$
