Question
A nitrogen nucleus 7N14 absorbs a neutron and can transform into lithium nucleus 3Li7 under suitable conditions, after emitting
Options
A.4 protons and 4 neutrons
B.5 protons and 1 negative beta particle
C.2 alpha particles and 2 gamma particles
D.1 alpha particle, 4 protons and 2 negative beta particles.
Solution
7N14 + n → 3Li7 + 4p + 4n
→ 3Li7 + 2α
→ 3Li7+ α + 4p + 2β−
→ 3Li7 + 2α
→ 3Li7+ α + 4p + 2β−
