Too freaking many... or maybe not many at all
Answer:
The bombarding particle is a Proton
Explanation:
A Nuclear transmutation reaction occurs when radioactive element decay, usually converting them from one element/isotope into another element. Transmutation is the process which causes decay, generally, alpha or beta.
¹⁶₈O(P,alpha) ¹³₇N, can be written as
¹⁶₈O + x goes to ¹³₇N + ⁴₂He
Where x can be anything, balancing the equation in order to give us the correct amount of proton number and nucleus number
16 + x = 13 + 4
x = 17 – 16 = 1, Hence we can say that x = ¹₁P
<u>¹⁶₈O + ¹₁P goes to ¹³₇N + ⁴₂He</u>
Here we can clearly see the bombarding particle is ¹₁P (proton). The ejected particle being ⁴₂He which is also known as an alpha particle
Answer:
Subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass.
