Concept explainers
(a)
To Complete: The nuclear reaction.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculations:
The given equation represents an alpha decay.
There would be same amount of atomic number and mass number on both sides of the equation.
Thus, on the right side of the equation, mass number of the missing element would be
Conclusion:
Hence, the complete equation is:
(b)
To Complete: The nuclear reaction.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculations:
The given equation represents a beta decay. Along with the daughter nucleus, an electron and an anti-neutrino is ejected.
There would be same amount of atomic number and mass number on both sides of the equation.
Thus, on the right side of the equation, mass number of the missing element would be
Conclusion:
Hence, the complete equation is:
(c)
To Complete: The nuclear reaction.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculations:
There would be same amount of atomic number and mass number on both sides of the equation.
For the first blank:
