The product of the nuclear reaction in which 31p is subjected to neutron capture followed by alpha emission is ²⁸Al.
Nuclear
reaction: ³¹P + n° → ²⁸Al + α (alpha particle).<span>
Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic
nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms
into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by
two and mass number that is reduced by four.</span>
The atomic number of copper is 29.
Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to rate my answer as well as maybe give it a "Thanks"? (Or even better a "Brainliest"). And if it’s not correct, I am sorry for wasting your time, and good luck finding the correct answer :)
