The isotope palladium-112 undergoes beta decay. Write the reaction equation and determine the identity of the daughter nucleus. 112 46 Pd → 112 47 Ag + 0 −1 e 112 46 Pd → 111 47 Ag + 0 −1 e 112 46 Pd → 112 45 Rh + 0 −1 e 112 46 Pd → 113 47 Ag + 0 −1 e 112 46 Pd → 111 45 Rh + 0 −1 e
Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear fusion is a type of nuclear reaction. In nuclear fusion, two or more than two lighter atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. During this process, an enormous amount of energy is released. This energy is called nuclear energy. Nuclear fusion is the energy source of the sun and stars.
Fusion Bomb
A fusion bomb is also known as a thermonuclear bomb or hydrogen bomb which releases a large amount of explosive energy during a nuclear chain reaction when the lighter nuclei in it, combine to form heavier nuclei, and a large amount of radiation is released. It is an uncontrolled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction where isotopes of hydrogen combine under very high temperature to form helium. They work on the principle of operation of atomic fusion. The isotopes of Hydrogen are deuterium and tritium, where they combine their masses and have greater mass than the product nuclei, get heated at high temperatures, and releases energy.
