Practice Problem: Nuclear Reactions

The video tutorial explains how an alpha particle reacts with magnesium-25 to produce a proton and another nuclide. It guides viewers through writing the nuclear reaction equation, identifying the components involved, and balancing the atomic and mass numbers. The tutorial concludes by identifying the unknown nuclide as aluminum-28.

How do you calculate the mass number of the unknown nuclide?

What nuclide is produced along with a proton in the reaction?
