Collision means accident.

Radiocarbon means the accident between fast neutron and nitrogen neutron then radio carbon is produced.

Just before the collision, mass number is 14, after the collision, if it absorbed the neutron then the mass number will be 15 and the atomic number will be 7, i.e 7N15. Which is unstable. It will release an electron and neutron and become 6c14. Am I right?

Why the radio carbon collides? Please explain.

In which form is nitrogen nucleic present in the atmosphere?

What is radiocarbon? how option (A) is correct? explain this clearly.

Bismark Boadu said:   4 years ago
Yes, option A is correct.

Because the fast neutrons collides with the nucleus of nitrogen in the atmosphere it creates an intermediate as a result.

What is collisions? How to produce radiocarbon?

From where we get fast neutron?

Vivek said:   1 decade ago
Fast moving neutron have a sufficient energy to penetrate the nitrogen nucleus and absorbedby it. Hence it make a intermdiate unstable element finallyit gives carbon-14 and a electron.

Sabari said:   1 decade ago
Suppose the nitrogen nucleus and fast neutrons are collision, what will happen?
