Question

Fill in the nuclide symbol for the missing particle in the following nuclear equation.

_______ → + 0 e1 + 13C6

Answer 1

Nitrogen 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We need fill in the blank the nuclide symbol for the missing particle in the following nuclear equation.

`X\rightarrow ^0e_1+^(13)C_6`

In this reaction, the emission of positron takes place. The atomic number in the LHS and the RHS should be same. So,

`^(13)_7 N \rightarrow ^0e_1+^(13)C_6`

So, the LHS have nitrogen 13, a radioactive isotope.
