If a nitrogen-14 nuclide captures an alpha particle, a proton is produced along with:

a. neutrons.
b. boron-10.
c. oxygen-17.
d. fluorine-18.
e. carbon-17.

c. oxygen-17

Explanation:

The isotopic representation of an atom is:

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given nuclear reaction:

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

14 + 4= A + 1

A = 17

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

7+ 2 = Z + 1

Z = 8

The isotopic symbol of element is

Thus a proton is produced along with oxygen-17.

it would be d. henry moseley

hope this !

and sorry if i'm late. have a good rest of your day! : d

the answer is 1 i believe
