Question

Bombardment of aluminum-27 by alpha particles produces phosphorus-30 and

one other particle. Write the nuclear equation for this reaction and identify the
other particle.

Answer 1

Answer: It is Neutron

Step-by-step explanation:

²⁷₁₃Al + ⁴₂α = ³⁰₁₅P + ?

27 + 4 = 30 + M

31 = 30 + M

-30 -30

1 = M

13 + 2 = 15 + Z

15 = 15 + z

-15 = -15

0 = z

¹₀n

Answer 2

I think the other particle is neutrons
