Chapter 18, Problem 23AE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Radioactive decay series and symbol for nuclide when F83223r emit 8 mass units and 3 atomic number units has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Radioactivity is a nuclear process. It is defined as the spontaneous disintegration of a nucleus which is done by the emission of radiation. The elements which show this property is said to be radioactive elements. Radioactive elements undergo decay by emission of alpha particles and beta particles.

An alpha particle emission causes a decrease of atomic number by 2 and mass number by 4 as the alpha particle is a helium nuclide with two protons and two neutrons whereas emission of beta particle results in an increase of atomic number by 1.

Beta particle is represented as β10. Loss of beta particle results in no change in mass number and increase of atomic number by 1.
