What isotope is produced when a neutron strikes a nucleus of $^{10}_{5} \mathrm{B}$ and an alpha particle is emitted?
(a) Suppose $^{10}_{5} \mathrm{B}$ is struck by an alpha particle, releasing a proton and a product nucleus in the reaction. What is the product nucleus? (b) An alpha particle and a product nucleus are produced when $^{13}_{6} \mathrm{C}$ is struck by a proton. What is the product nucleus?
