Chapter 10, Problem 34P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The following nuclear reaction should be completed:

  ${}_{\text{37}}^{\text{77}}\text{Rb}\to \text{?}\text{+}{}_{\text{+1}}^{\text{0}}\text{e}$

Concept Introduction:

The reactions involving formation of new nucleus with emission of some radiation along with it from an original nucleus are known as nuclear reactions.

To write a nuclear reaction, the chemical equation for the reaction must be balanced that is the sum of atomic number and mass number on both the side should be equal.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The following nuclear reaction should be completed:

  ${}_{\text{102}}^{\text{251}}\text{No}\to \text{?}\text{+}{}_2^4\text{He}$

Concept Introduction:

The reactions involving formation of new nucleus with emission of some radiation along with it from an original nucleus are known as nuclear reactions.

To write a nuclear reaction, the chemical equation for the reaction must be balanced that is the sum of atomic number and mass number on both the side should be equal.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The following nuclear reaction should be completed:

  ${}_{\text{29}}^{\text{66}}\text{Cu}\to ?\text{+}{}_{\text{-1}}^{\text{0}}\text{e}$

Concept Introduction:

The reactions involving formation of new nucleus with emission of some radiation along with it from an original nucleus are known as nuclear reactions.

To write a nuclear reaction, the chemical equation for the reaction must be balanced that is the sum of atomic number and mass number on both the side should be equal.
