Chapter 18.3, Problem 18.3P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Nuclide formed after emission of alpha particle and then beta particle from 92238U has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Alpha particle (α) represents nucleus of helium atom. It contains two protons and two neutrons. Emission of this alpha particle is called alpha decay. Symbol of alpha particle is 24He.

General equation for alpha decay is as follows:

  ZAXZ2A4Y+24He

Here,

A is the mass or nucleon number.

Z is the atomic number.

X is the symbol of the element.

Beta emission (β) process represents conversion of neutron into 1 proton and 1 electron. This proton stays within nucleus and electron is emitted out of atom. This electron is called the beta particle (10e).

The generic equation of the beta decay is as follows:

  ZAXZ+1AY+10e

Here,

A is the mass or nucleon number.

Z is the atomic number.

X and Y is the symbol of the element.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Nuclide formed after emission of 3 alpha particle and 2 beta particle from 92238U has to be determined.
