Suppose an oxygen-16 nuclide transforms into a nitrogen-13 nuclide by absorbing a proton and emitting an alpha particle. complete the nuclear chemical equation below so that it describes this nuclear reaction.

Explanation:

As it is given that oxygen-16 nuclide is transforming means oxygen-16 nuclide is changing into a nitrogen-13 nuclide.

Since, it is emitting an alpha particle and an alpha particle is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Symbol of an alpha particle is or .

A proton has a +1 charge and it is represented by a symbol .

Therefore, the complete nuclear reaction equation will be as follows.

fe 55.85 g/mol and h2o 18.02 g/mol.
