Complete this nuclear reaction by selecting which particle would go in the

kompoz [17]

Answer:

Missing particles: $^{0}_{1}e^{+}$ (a positron) and an electron neutrino $\nu_{\rm e}$ .

The nuclear equation would be:

${\rm ^{19}_{10} Ne} \to ^{0}_{1}e^{+} + {\rm ^{19}_{\phantom{1}9}F }+ \nu_{e}$ .

Explanation:

The mass number of a particle is the number on the top-right corner of its symbol.

The atomic number of a particle is the number on the lower-right corner of its symbol.

The nuclear reaction here resembles a beta-plus decay. The mass numbers of the two nuclei are equal. However, the atomic number of the product nucleus is lower than that of the reactant nucleus by $1$ .

A beta decay may either be a beta-plus decay or a beta-minus decay. In a beta-plus decay, a positively-charged positron $^{0}_{1}e^{+}$ and an electron neutrino $\nu_e$ would be released. On the other hand, in a beta-minus decay, a negatively-charged electron $\rm ^{0}_{1}e^{-}$ and an electron antineutrino $\overline{\nu}_e$ would be released.

Electric charge needs to be conserved in nuclear reactions, including this one.

The atomic number of the $\rm Ne$ nucleus on the left-hand side is $10$ , meaning that the nucleus has a charge of $+10$ . On the other hand, the atomic number of the $\rm F$ nucleus on the right-hand side shows that this nucleus carries a charge of only $+9$ .

By the conservation of electric charge, the particles on the right-hand side must carry a positive charge of $+1$ . That rules out the possibility of the combination of one negatively-charged electron $\rm ^{0}_{1}e^{-}$ (with a charge of $-1$ ) and an electron antineutrino $\overline{\nu}_e$ (with no electric charge at all.)
