Question

When high energy alpha-particle  pass through nitrogen gas, an isotope of oxygen is formed with the emission of particles named x. The nuclear reaction is

           

what is the name of x?

Solution

Correct option is

Proton

The charge number and the mass number must be the same on both sides of a nuclear reaction. Particle x must have charge number +1 and mass number 1. Hence it is a proton.
