Answer to Problem 89A
The product formed after the emission of alpha particle from the boron-10 is lithium and the barium is the product of cesium-137 after beta decay.
Explanation of Solution
The alpha particle radiation of boron-10 is
The atomic number is decreases by two units and atomic mass is decreases by four units.
The beta particle is emitted from cesium-137
In the beta radiation, there is only change in the atomic number from the original element and atomic mass remain same.
So, by these nuclear radiations, new product is formed with different atomic number and different atomic mass as in reaction number 1.
The second one is representing the change in atomic number but the atomic mass remains the same.
