Complete the following nuclear equations.
(a) ${}_7^{14}\text{N}{+}_2^4\text{He}{\to }_8^{17}\text{O}+.....$ (b) ${}_4^9\text{Be}{+}_2^4\text{He}{\to }_6^{12}\text{C}+.....$
(c) ${}_4^9\text{Be(p,alpha)}...$ (d) ${}_{15}^{30}\text{P}{\to }_{14}^{30}\text{S}+.....$
(e) ${}_1^3\text{H}{\to }_2^3\text{He}+.....$ (f) ${}_{20}^{43}\text{Ca(alpha ,.....)}{\to }_{21}^{46}\text{Sc}$

• A. (a) ${}_1{H}^1$, (b) ${}_0{n}^1$, (c) ${}_{3}L{i}^6$, (d) ${}_{+1}{e}^0$, (e) ${}_{-1}{e}^0$, (f) p (proton)
• B. (a) ${}_1{H}^1$, (b) ${}_1{n}^1$, (c) ${}_{3}L{i}^6$, (d) ${}_{+1}{e}^0$, (e) ${}_{-1}{e}^0$, (f) p (proton)
• C. (a) ${}_1{H}^1$, (b) ${}_0{n}^1$, (c) ${}_{3}L{i}^4$, (d) ${}_{+1}{e}^0$, (e) ${}_{-1}{e}^1$, (f) p (proton)
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A (a) ${}_1{H}^1$, (b) ${}_0{n}^1$, (c) ${}_{3}L{i}^6$, (d) ${}_{+1}{e}^0$, (e) ${}_{-1}{e}^0$, (f) p (proton)

For every reaction, charge and mass should be equal so by their comparison,

(a) ${}_7^{14}\text{N}{+}_2^4\text{He}{\to }_8^{17}\text{O}+$ ${}_1{H}^1$

(b) ${}_4^9\text{Be}{+}_2^4\text{He}{\to }_6^{12}\text{C}+$${}_0{n}^1$

(c) ${}_4^9\text{Be(p,alpha)}$ ${}_{3}L{i}^6$

(d) ${}_{15}^{30}\text{P}{\to }_{14}^{30}\text{S}+$${}_{+1}{e}^0$

(e) ${}_1^3\text{H}{\to }_2^3\text{He}+$ ${}_{-1}{e}^0$

(f) ${}_{20}^{43}\text{Ca}(\alpha ,p(proton\left)\right){\to }_{21}^{46}\text{Sc}$
