Suppose an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron. Complete the nuclear chemical equation below so that it describes this nuclear reaction.

→ 30P15 + 1n0

Explanation:

An alpha particles is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.  

Symbol of an alpha particle is . Whereas a neutron is represented by a symbol , that is, it has zero protons and only 1 neutron.

Therefore, reaction equation when an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron is as follows.
