Uncategorized: Practice Problem & Solution

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Uncategorized. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

The nuclear reaction is $_{8}O^{16} + _{1}H^{2} \rightarrow _{2}He^{4} + _{Z}X^{A}$. Balancing the atomic numbers: $8 + 1 = 2 + Z \Rightarrow Z = 7$. Balancing the mass numbers: $16 + 2 = 4 + A \Rightarrow A = 14$. The product is $_{7}N^{14}$.
