Nitrogen is heavy percentage in atmosphere due to this when heavy neutron collision with nitrogen nuclei then it produce.

Neutrons undergo collision and forms unstable elements but one thing is that does it break to form any other element.

But how does it get converted to carbon as it has 7 electrons before. Ejecting an electron shouldn't make it carbon?

Jit said:   7 years ago
Just like radiocarbon, another radio elements like radionitrogen, radiooxygen etc produced in the atmosphere or not?

What is equation of its reaction?

What is radiocarbon?

Describe the answer with respect to the releted question.

Riya sinha said:   1 decade ago
When fast neutron and nitrogen nuclie collid then an intermediate form. Is this intermediate called radiocarbon?

Mafel said:   1 decade ago
I think A is the correct answer because when the different elements put together, it will produce a radiocarbon.

Amit sharma said:   1 decade ago
Neutrons colloid with nitrogen then very large amount of energy released and converted into radioactive element.

Usman abdullahi karwai said:   9 years ago
Radiocarbon is a radioactive isotope while radioactive is the disintegration or decay of a radioactive element.

Ammu said:   1 decade ago
Radiocarbon is present in the atmosphere due to pollution and bombardment of collision between fast neutron.
