The answer is ¹³₆C
That is the unknown product is ¹³₆C.
Balance equation is:
¹₀n + ¹⁴₇N + ----> ¹⁴₆C + ₁¹H .
That is determined by counting the number of electrons, protons and neutrons on both sides.
Number of electrons on both sides is 7, and 1 electron is given by Hydrogen on the product side, so it lacks 6 electron that corresponds to carbon having atomic number 6 and as there are 15 neutrons and protons on the reactant side , and one is given by hydrogen rest 14 is of carbon isotope.
