Complete the nuclear reaction O 8 15 + n 0 1 → C 6 12 + ?

Given, O 8 15 + n 0 1 → C 6 12 + ? Equating atomic number and mass number. Atomic number of unknown element = 8 + 0 - 6 = 2 Mass number of unknown element = 15 + 1 - 12 = 4 Hence, the unknown element is He 2 4 .

Complete the nuclear reactions N 7 14 + ? → C 6 14 + H 1 1

Given, N 7 14 + ? → C 6 14 + H 1 1 Equating atomic number and mass number. Atomic number of unknown element = 6 + 1 - 7 = 0 Mass number of unknown element = 14 + 1 - 14 = 1 Hence, the unknown element is n 0 1 .

A beta particle, also called beta ray or beta radiation, is a high-energy, high-speed electron or positron emitted by the radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus during the process of beta decay. There are two forms of beta decay, β⁻ decay and β⁺ decay, which produce electrons and positrons respectively.
