Interpretation:
The product needs to be identified when lutetium-176 goes through nuclear decay.
Concept introduction:
Lutetium is a rare-earth element that can be used to speed up to the
Answer to Problem 11STP
The product is hafnium-176.
Explanation of Solution
Radioactive isotope gives off some small particles and it forms more stable nuclei when the isotope goes through nuclear decay. Lutetium-176 undergoes beta decay to form beta particle and hafnium-176 isotope. The equation is as follows:
The product is hafnium-176 when lutetium-176 undergo nuclear decay.
