(a) Determine the atomic number Z and the mass number A of the thallium nuclei produced and enter your
answers in the spaces provided below.
Z == 81
1 = 213
The mass of the alpha particle is 6.64 x 10-27 kg. Its measured kinetic energy is 6.09 MeV and its speed is much
less than the speed of light.
