Chapter 19, Problem 19.1P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine:

Write a balanced nuclear equation.
Beta emission from ruthenium 106.

  44106Ru10e+..........

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

In beta (β) decay, the atom emits 10e particle.
Let the complete space be filled with ZAX.

  44106RuZAX+10e

The incomplete nuclear is mentioned above. Now, balance the equation.

  Z1=44A=106Z=45,A=106

Therefore, mass number =106 and atomic number =45

  44106Ru45106X+10e

From periodic table, element X is rhodium (Rh).

  44106Ru45106Rh+10e

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine:

Write a balanced nuclear equation.

  83189Bi24He+.........?

(b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

In alpha (α) decay, the atom emits a helium (24He) nucleus. So, emitting an alpha particle reduces the nucleus by two proton and two neutrons.
Let the blank element be ZAX.

  83189BiZAX+24He

Balance the equation.

  Z+2=83Z=832=81A+4=189A=1894=185

  83189Bi81185Ti+24He

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine:

  84204Po+10e

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

In case of electron capture, the mass number remains same and atomic number decreases by 1.

  84204Po+10eZAX

Balance the chemical reaction.

  841=ZZ=83A=204

Therefore, the element ZAXwill be 83204X.
From periodic table, element will be bismuth.
Therefore,

  84204Po+10e83204Bi

Conclusion

Atomic and mass number should be balance.
