Chapter 18, Problem 75QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

An experiment (using radioactivity) should be outlined which can be used to identify the position of cleavage.

Concept introduction:

A reaction in which a nucleus of an atom or two nuclei and a subatomic particle collide to form one or more nuclide which is different from the starting nuclide is known as nuclear reaction. Nuclear reactions can be classified as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

A process in which an unstable atomic releases energy in the form of emission of radiation such as beta particle, an alpha particle and other radiations is known as radioactivity.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The result should be described which lead to the conclusion that cleavage results at a.
