Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the positron emission of arsenic-74 should be determined.
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
(b)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the positron emission of oxygen-15 should be determined.
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.
