Interpretation:
The isotope that is formed when a silver
Concept introduction:
The process by which an unstable nucleus radiates energy along with the emission of an alpha or beta particle is known as radioactive decay. A substance is said to be radioactive if it possesses an unstable nucleus. The process is spontaneous. It is also known as nuclear radiation.

- Write the balanced nuclear equation for the production of the following transuranium elements: (a) berkelium-244, made by the reaction of Am-241 and He-4. (b) fermiurn-254, made by the reaction of Pu-239 with a large number of neutrons. (c) lawrencium-257, made by the reaction of Cf-250 and B-11. (d) dubnium-260, made by the reaction of Cf-249 and N-15arrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation for each of the following nuclear reactions: (a) the production of 17O from 14N by a particle bombardment. (b) the production of 14C from 14N by neutron bombardment. (c) the production of 233Th from 232Th by neutron bombardment. (d) the production of 239U from 238U by H12 bombardmentarrow_forwardPlutonium 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?arrow_forward
