Chapter 11.4, Problem 11.6P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The nuclear reaction for the formation of $\text{Copper-62}$ by $\text{electron capture}$ has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Electron capture:

The process in which a proton converts into a neutron, the nucleus captures an inner shell electron from the surrounding electron cloud.

Concept Introduction:

Electron capture:

The process in which a proton converts into a neutron, the nucleus captures an inner shell electron from the surrounding electron cloud.
