Interpretation:
An artifact is bombarded with neutrons and product should be the cadmium-110, then target and unstable isotopes in this process needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:.
The nuclear reaction and transmutations are examples of radioactive decay. In this process, one element is converted into other by spontaneous emission of radiation. The transmutation can takes place when a stable nucleus is bombarded with alpha, beta and gamma radiations.
Answer to Problem 21PP
In this process T is silver-109 and I is silver-110.
Explanation of Solution
According to the given figure
Here, T represents target and I represent unstable isotope.
Balancing the second equation gives:
The first equation is then:
Balancing equation (1).
Hence, the T is silver-109 and I is silver-110.
T is silver-109 and I is silver-110.
