Geocentric Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 # Neutrons bombard nuclei of N(14,7) converting it into Li(7,3). The process is accompanied by the emission of:1)4 protons and 4 neutrons2)6 protons and 2 electrons3)1 alpha particle, 2 protons and 1 neutron4)2 alpha particles and gamma ray photonI get 2 solutions here.N(14,7) + n(1,0) ---> Li(7,3) + 4p(1,1) + 4n(1,0)N(14,7) + n(1,0) ---> Li(7,3) + 2(alpha particles) + (gamma rays) Is it right? When N(14,7) is bombarded with a neutron, is the emission of 2 different set of particles possible? Here N=nitrogen, Li=Lithium, n=neutron, p=proton.

Jay-qu Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I would say that it is number 4, the protons and neutrons will not be emmited seperately. But I have some doubt as to whether a gamma ray would be emmited because Li is less stable than N.. possibly require more energy to hold the nucleus together.
