In this nuclear reaction equation, oxygen decays to form Nitrogen. The equation which correctly describes this decay is 15/8 O → 15/7 N + 0/1 e. The correct option is A.
The reaction which is caused by the bombardment of slow moving neutrons by the heavy nucleus.
Any reaction is perfectly balanced when the atomic number and mass number is same on both the product and reactant side.
15/8 O → 15/7 N + 0/1 e
In this equation, the mass number 15 is balanced on both the sides. Also, the atomic number is also balanced i.e on reactant side 8 = 7 +1 on product side.
In the rest of the equations, both the atomic number and mass number is not balanced.
Thus, the equation which correctly describes this decay is 15/8 O → 15/7 N + 0/1 e. The correct option is A.
