The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of a nitrogen nucleus \( ^{14}_{7}N \) absorbing a neutron and transforming into a lithium nucleus \( ^{7}_{3}Li \), we need to analyze the nuclear reaction in terms of mass number and atomic number (charge). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Nucleus and the Neutron:** - The nitrogen nucleus is \( ^{14}_{7}N \). - A neutron is represented as \( ^{1}_{0}n \). 2. **Calculate the Total Mass Number and Charge Number on the Left Side:** - The mass number of nitrogen is 14, and the charge number (atomic number) is 7. - The neutron has a mass number of 1 and a charge number of 0. - Therefore, the total mass number on the left side is: \[ 14 + 1 = 15 \] - The total charge number on the left side is: \[ 7 + 0 = 7 \] 3. **Identify the Product Nucleus:** - The product of the reaction is \( ^{7}_{3}Li \). - The lithium nucleus has a mass number of 7 and a charge number of 3. 4. **Determine the Missing Particle:** - Let’s denote the emitted particle as \( X \). - We need to ensure that the total mass number and charge number on the right side equals those on the left side. - The total mass number on the right side (including \( X \)) must be: \[ 15 = 7 + \text{mass number of } X \] This gives: \[ \text{mass number of } X = 15 - 7 = 8 \] - The total charge number on the right side must be: \[ 7 = 3 + \text{charge number of } X \] This gives: \[ \text{charge number of } X = 7 - 3 = 4 \] 5. **Identify the Emitted Particle:** - The emitted particle with a mass number of 8 and a charge number of 4 corresponds to an alpha particle \( ^{4}_{2}\alpha \) or 4 protons and 4 neutrons. - However, since we need to balance the equation, we find that the emitted particle is actually a combination of particles that can balance the equation. 6. **Final Reaction Equation:** - The complete reaction can be written as: \[ ^{14}_{7}N + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{7}_{3}Li + ^{8}_{4}X \] - The particle \( X \) is likely a combination of particles (like 4 protons and 4 neutrons). 7. **Conclusion:** - The emitted particle is \( ^{8}_{4}He \) (an alpha particle). ### Final Answer: The nitrogen nucleus \( ^{14}_{7}N \) absorbs a neutron and transforms into lithium nucleus \( ^{7}_{3}Li \) after emitting an alpha particle \( ^{4}_{2}He \).
