Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The value of X in the following reaction should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The reactions involving the formation of new nucleus with emission of some radiation along with it from an original nucleus are known as nuclear reactions.
Nuclear reaction is of two types:
- Nuclear fusion:
The combination of two lighter nuclei to form a larger nucleus is known as nuclear fusion.
- Nuclear fission:
The splitting of a heavy nucleus into lighter nucleus and neutrons is known as nuclear fission.
(b)
Interpretation:
The value of Y in the following reaction should be predicted.
