Question:

Identify X in the following nuclear reaction:

${_6C}^{12}+{_1H}^1\rightarrow X$

Options:

${_7N}^{13}$

${_5B}^{10}$

${_6C}^{12}$

${_7N}^{14}$

Correct Answer:

${_7N}^{13}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → ${_7N}^{13}$

$^{12}_{6}\text{C} + ^{1}_{1}\text{H} \rightarrow X$

$\text{Mass number: } 12 + 1 = 13$

$\text{Atomic number: } 6 + 1 = 7$

$X = \, ^{13}_{7}\text{N}$

The particle $X$ is $^{13}_{7}\text{N}$.
