(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The chemical equation describing the radioactive decay of each of the given nuclides is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Nuclei of radioactive element decompose in various ways. There are two major categories. One involves a change in mass number of the decaying nucleus, while others do not. Types of radioactive processes include α particle production, β particle production, γ ray production, electron capture and many others. Electron capture decay involves the capturing of one of the inner orbitals electrons by the nucleus.

Beta particle production decay involves the production of beta particle (10e) that is assigned mass number zero.

A helium nucleus 24He is produced in the alpha decay process.

Positron 10e is a particle with mass same as electron, but its charge is opposite to that of electron.

To determine: The chemical equation for the decay of given nuclide.
