A deutron strikes `._8O^16` nucleus with the subsequent emission of an `alpha`-particle. Find the atomic number, mass number and chemical name of the element so produced.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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)`
