Question

identify the elements in the following equation. $_2^4he + _7^{14}n \to _8^{17}o + _1^1h 250 words remaining

Explanation:

The equation shows a nuclear - reaction. The elements are identified by their chemical symbols. Helium (He), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H) are the elements involved. The sub - scripts represent the atomic number (number of protons) and the superscripts represent the mass number (sum of protons and neutrons). In this reaction, a helium nucleus ($_{2}^{4}\text{He}$) collides with a nitrogen nucleus ($_{7}^{14}\text{N}$) to produce an oxygen nucleus ($_{8}^{17}\text{O}$) and a hydrogen nucleus ($_{1}^{1}\text{H}$).

Answer:

The elements are Helium (He), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), and Hydrogen (H).
