Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
A balanced
Concept introduction:
A balanced nuclear equation is an equation in which electrons, protons and neutrons in the reactants are equal to the total number of electrons, protons and neutrons in the products respectively. Alpha emission involves the emission of alpha particle which is also known as helium nucleus. It is positively charged with mass number
(b)
Interpretation:
A balanced nuclear equation of beta emission by isotope of bismuth
Concept introduction:
A balanced nuclear equation is an equation in which left hand side electrons, protons and neutrons are equal to the total number of electrons, protons, neutrons of products respectively. Beta emission is the emission of an electron particle which is negatively charged with mass number
