A deutron strikes ""_6O^(16) nucleus with the subsequent emission of an alpha-particle. Find the atomic number, mass number and chemical name of the element so produced.

Answer»

SOLUTION :The nuclear REACTION may be expressed as under
`""_8O^(16) +""_1H^2 to ""_zX^A+""_2He^4(ALPHA-"particle")`
Law of conservation of charge 8+1=Z+2 `rArr Z=7`
The atomic number of the ELEMENT is 7 `rArr` element is nitrogen
Law of conservation of mass number `16+2 =A+4 rArr A=14`
`""_zX^A=""_7N^(14)`
