14	N +	4	He	17	O + X
7		2		8

In the equation above, the particles X is

A

a proton

B

a neutron

C

an - particle

D

a - particle

Explanation

Share Answer for the conversion of mass 14 + 4 = 17 + x
X = 18 - 17 = 1
for conservation pf charge:7 + 2 = 8 + y
y = 9 - 8 = 1
Thus, the element is ₁¹X which is equal to hydrogen nucleus ( proton)
