Concept introduction:
All of the nuclear reactions or transmutations mentioned so far are examples of radioactive decay, where one element is converted by spontaneous emission of radiation into another. Moreover, transmutations may also be caused or induced by bombarding a stable nucleus with a neutron, or by alpha, beta, or gamma radiation with high energy.
Answer to Problem 20PP
Balanced nuclear equation is
Explanation of Solution
By bombarding
The sums at each side of the equation of the superscripts are identical. The mass number is thus conserved.
