In the reaction where a nitrogen-14 nuclide (\(^{14}_{7}N\)) transforms into an oxygen-17 nuclide (\(^{17}_{8}O\)) by absorbing an alpha particle (\(^{4}_{2}\alpha\)) and emitting a proton (\(^{1}_{1}p\)), you can write the nuclear equation as follows:
\[
^{14}_{7}N + ^{4}_{2}\alpha \rightarrow ^{17}_{8}O + ^{1}_{1}p
\]
This equation captures the absorption of an alpha particle by nitrogen-14, leading to the formation of oxygen-17 and the emission of a proton.
