A deuteron is bombarded on 8O16 nucleus then α\alpha-particle is emitted. The product nucleus is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. 8O16+1H2→ZXA+2He4{}_{8}\text{O}^{16} + {}_{1}\text{H}^{2} \to {}_{Z}\text{X}^{A} + {}_{2}\text{He}^{4}
  2. A=16+2−4=14A = 16 + 2 - 4 = 14, Z=8+1−2=7Z = 8 + 1 - 2 = 7
  3. So the answer is (d) 7N14{}_{7}\text{N}^{14}.
