    If\[_{7}{{N}^{14}}\]nucleus is bombarded with an\[\alpha -\]particle and a proton is emitted the product nucleus is:

    A)  \[_{8}{{O}^{17}}\]       

    B)  \[_{8}{{F}^{19}}\]

    C)  \[_{9}{{O}^{17}}\]       

    D)  \[_{7}{{F}^{19}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     If\[_{7}{{N}^{14}}\]nucleus is bombarded with an\[\alpha -\] particle then a proton is emitted. \[_{7}{{N}^{14}}{{+}_{2}}H{{e}^{4}}{{\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}}_{Z}}{{Y}^{A}}{{+}_{1}}{{H}^{1}}\] Atomic mass of nucleus \[(14+4)-1=17\] \[\therefore \] Atomic number \[Z=7+2-1=8\] Hence, required product nucleus is\[_{8}{{O}^{17}}\].
