9. Fusion of carbon -12 plus + helium – 4 results in the formation of oxygen – 16 and a decaying particles​

Answer 1

Changes of nuclei that result in changes in their atomic numbers, mass numbers, or energy states are nuclear reactions. To describe a nuclear reaction, we use an equation that identifies the nuclides involved in the reaction, their mass numbers and atomic numbers, and the other particles involved in the reaction.
