Concept Introduction:
Nuclear reaction is a physical process in which there is a change in identity of an atomic nucleus. Natural radioactive decays, artificial radioactive decays... are considered as nuclear reactions because these processes make changes in the identity of an atomic nucleus.
Common particles in radioactive decay and nuclear transformations are mentioned below,
There are various types of nuclear processes. The changes in atomic number and mass number accompanying radioactive decay are mentioned below,

Explanation of Solution
Given incomplete nuclear reaction is,
Thus,
The complete reaction is,
(b)
Interpretation:
Given nuclear equation has to be completed and then the mass number, atomic number, and symbol for the remaining particle should be determined.
