Chapter 15, Problem 26QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of electron capture by $\text{T}\text{i}$ is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

In electron capture, a proton combines with an electron to form a neutron. So, the mass number remains the same but atomic number decreases by 1. In the process, the mass number is conserved. The mass number of the reactant equals to the sum of the mass numbers of the products.
