When a deuteron is bombarded on ${ }_8^{16} O$ nucleus, an $\alpha$-particle is emitted. Other product nucleus is: |
${ }_6^{12} C$ ${ }_5^{10} B$ ${ }_4^9 B e$ ${ }_7^{14} N$ |
${ }_7^{14} N$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → ${ }_7^{14} N$ The reaction can be written as - ${ }_8^{16} O+{ }_1^{2}H→{ }_2^{4}He+X$ According to conservation of Mass, $16+2=4+m_x$ $m_x=14$ and, conservation of atomic number $8+1=2+Z_x$ $Z_x=7$ $∴X={ }_7^{14} N$ |
