**Nuclear Equation Completion**1. **Complete the nuclear equation for the alpha-decay of Th-232.** \[ \text{Th-232} \rightarrow \text{-- ⟶} + \text{-- -- ⟶} \] - *Explanation*: In alpha decay, a thorium-232 nucleus emits an alpha particle, which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. This results in a new element with a mass number reduced by 4 and an atomic number reduced by 2. 2. **Complete the nuclear equation for the beta-decay of Zn-69.** \[ \text{Zn-69} \rightarrow \text{-- ⟶} + \text{-- ⟶} - \text{--} \] - *Explanation*: During beta decay, a neutron in zinc-69 is converted to a proton while emitting a beta particle (an electron). This increases the atomic number by 1, creating a new element, but the mass number remains unchanged. 3. **Complete the nuclear equation for electron capture in Ar-37.** \[ \text{Ar-37} + \text{-- ⟶} \rightarrow \text{-- ⟶} - \text{--} \] - *Explanation*: In electron capture, an inner orbital electron is captured by the nucleus of an argon-37 atom, combining with a proton to form a neutron. This decreases the atomic number by 1, forming a new element, while the mass number remains the same.
