Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: For the given reactions, abbreviated forms should be written.
Concept Introduction:
- Nuclear reaction can be written in the shorthand notation with the parentheses. Bombarding particle, that is projectile can be represented as first symbol in the parentheses and the emitted particle that is ejectile which can be represented as the second particle in the parentheses.
Parent nucleus and daughter nucleus can be represented in the front part of the parentheses and back part of the parentheses respectively.
To write: The abbreviated form of the given all nuclear reactions
(a)
Answer to Problem 20.35QP
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
Nuclear reaction can be written in the shorthand notation with the parentheses. Bombarding particle, that is projectile can be represented as first symbol in the parentheses and the emitted particle that is ejectile which can be represented as the second particle in the parentheses. Parent nucleus and daughter nucleus can be represented in the front part of the parentheses and back part of the parentheses respectively. So for the nuclear reaction, short hand notation will be in this form that is,
For the given nuclear reaction a,
So, the shorthand notation for the given reaction is,
(b)
Interpretation: For the given reactions, abbreviated forms should be written.
