(b) A neutron reacts with 17O to form 14C.

(c) 69Ga reacts with a neutron and emits a gamma ray.

(d) 238U is bombarded with 16O ions, forming 250Fm.

Strategy The sum of the atomic numbers and the sum of the mass numbers on the product side must equal those on the reactant side. The atomic number and mass number of the missing particle is assigned by difference.
