Identify X in each of the following nuclear reactions:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
(f)
(a)
Interpretation:
The value of X is to be determined in the given nuclear reaction
Concept Introduction :
A nuclear reaction is defined as the process in which two nuclei or nucleus of atom or of subatomic particle collide with an outside atom and results in the formation of two or more nuclides which are different nuclei of the parent atom.
Answer to Problem 32.1QAP
The reaction is −
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is −
The above reaction shows the alpha decay. The alpha decay of element
(b)
Interpretation:
The value of X is to be determined in the given nuclear reaction

Answer to Problem 32.1QAP
The reaction is −
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is −
The above reaction shows the beta positive decay. The beta positive decay of given reaction results in the formation of

Answer to Problem 32.1QAP
The reaction is −
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is −
The above reaction will be balanced when one is added to the mass number. Therefore one neutron with mass number one is added to the reaction, so the value of X is
(f)
Interpretation:
The value of X is to be determined in the given nuclear reaction
Concept Introduction:
A nuclear reaction is defined as the process in which two nuclei or nucleus of atom or of subatomic particle collide with an outside atom and results in the formation of two or more nuclides which are different nuclei of the parent atom.
Answer to Problem 32.1QAP
The reaction is −
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is −
The above reaction will be balanced when one is added to the atomic number. Therefore, one electron with atomic number one will be added to the reaction so the value of X is
