Technetium-99 (9Tc) is prepared from Molybdenum-98 (9³M0). 9®MO combines with a neutron to give Molybdenum-99, an unstable isotope that emits a ß 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 y ray. The ground state of 99TC then emits a ß particle. Write balanced equations for each of these nuclear reactions and predict the stable isotope at the end of the nuclear reactions. [Ru]
