Answer to Question #135445 in General Chemistry for Kaitlin

Question

Write the nuclear fusion equation for the formation of oxygen from 1 nitrogen-14 atom and 1 Hydrogen-1 atom

Answer 1

In nuclear fusion reaction of 1 nitrogen-14 atom and 1 Hydrogen-1 atom.

Following chemical reaction will happen,

¹⁴N + ¹H -----------> ¹⁵O + γ

(Where, γ= gemma ray)

i.e in the given nuclear fusion reaction ¹⁵O isotope will produce along with highly energetic γ ray.
