Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of positron emission by $\text{O}$ is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A nuclear reaction involves changes at a subatomic level such as changes in the number of protons, the number of neutrons or the energy state. To balance a nuclear reaction, two conservation conditions can be used; the conservation of mass number and the conservation of charges (atomic number). The product of the reaction can be determined by balancing the reaction.
