Plutonium was detected in trace amounts in natural uranium deposits by Glenn Seaborg and his associates in 1941. They proposed that the source of this 239Pu was the capture of neutrons by 238U nuclei. Why is this plutonium not likely to have been trapped at the time the solar system formed 4.7109 years ago?
A scientist is studying a 2.234 g sample of thorium-229 (t1/2=7340y) in a laboratory. (a) What is its activity in Bq?. (b) What is its activity in Ci?
Technetium-99 is prepared from 98Mo. Molybdenum-SS combines with a neutron to give molybdenum-99, an unstable isotope that emits a particle to yield an excited form of technetium-99, represented as 99Tc*. This excited nucleus relaxes to the ground state, represented as 99Tc, by emitting a ray. The ground state of 99Tc then emits a particle. Write the equations for each of these nuclear reactions.
Why is electron capture accompanied by the emission of an X-ray?
. The element zinc in nature consists of five isotopes with higher than0.5% natural abundances, with mass numbers 64, 66, 67, 68, and 70. Write the nuclear symbol for each of these isotopes. How many protons does each contain? How many neutrons does each contain?
