| Using the example of the first nuclear reaction carried out by Rutherford, show how the laws of conservation of electric charge and mass number are fulfilled.
14 / 7N + 4 / 2Не -> 17 / 8О + 1 / 1Н Law of conservation of electric charge: the sum of charge
the number of elements before the reaction is equal to the sum of the charge numbers after the reaction.
7 + 2 = 8 + 1
The law of conservation of mass numbers: the sum of the mass numbers of elements before the reaction
equal to the sum of the mass numbers after the reaction.
14 + 4 = 17 + 1
