Bombarding nitrogen-14 with an alpha particle can knock a proton out of the nitr

Question

Bombarding nitrogen-14 with an alpha particle can knock a proton out of the nitrogen. Write a nuclear equation to show the result of the bombardment By bombarding beryllium-9 with an alpha particle, one of the building blocks of nuclei was first observed. Write a nuclear equation to show which particle was produced. A number of transuranium elements (elements beyond uranium) have been produced by neutron bombardment. For example americium was produced by bombarding plutonium-239 with two neutrons, followed by a beta emission. Write a series of nuclear equations to show this process.

Explanation / Answer

(A)The balanced nuclear equation is : 7N14 + 2He4 ----> 9F17 + 0n1

(B) The balanced nuclear equation is :  4Be9 + 2He4 ----> 5B12 + 1H1 bulding block of nucli is proton

(C) The balanced nuclear equation is :  94Pu239 +2 0n1  ----> 94Pu241 -----> 95Am241  + -1e0
