(a)
Interpretation:
The equation for radioactive decay of H31 which produces β needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Radioactive decay is process to convert unstable atomic nucleus to smaller stable nuclei and this is possible only when there is imbalance between the number of protons and neutrons. During this process radiations like alpha, beta, and gamma are emitted.
(a)

Answer to Problem 4E
The radioactive decay of H31 that produces β is depicted as H31→H32e+e0−1 , as β is e0−1
Explanation of Solution
The radioactive decay of H31 which produces β is depicted as below
H31→?+e0−1
While computing the mass numbers and
Mass number: 3 = 0 +?
x = 3
y= 1
Hence unknown element is x32 . Looking through the periodic table, it is found that element with mass number 3 is He. Hence, the element is H32e . The emission of β particle will increase the atomic number by 1 with no changes in mass number.
The radioactive decay of H31 that emits β is depicted by equation H31→H32e+e0−1
(b)
Interpretation:
The equation for radioactive decay of L83i which produces β and then later on a needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
When there is unstable atomic nucleus, then it gets converted to smaller stable nuclei through radioactive decay process. This happens when there is imbalance between the number of protons and neutrons. Radiations like alpha, beta, and gamma are emitted are by-products.
(b)

Answer to Problem 4E
The radioactive decay of L83i which produces β and then later on a. s depicted as L83i→2H42e+e0−1 , as β is e0−1
Explanation of Solution
The radioactive decay of L83i which produces β is depicted as below
L83i→?+e0−1
While computing the mass numbers and atomic mass for unknown element, it is found that
Mass number: 8 = 0 +?
x = 8
Atomic number: 3 =? + (-1)
y= 4
Hence unknown element is x84 . Looking through the periodic table, it is found that element with mass number 8 is being. Hence, the element is B84e . The emission of β particle will increase the atomic number by 1 with no changes in mass number. The radioactive decay of L83i which produces β is depicted by equation L83i→B84e+e0−1 ............…. (1)
Then there is emission of alpha particles indicating that there will be decrease in mass number by 4 units and atomic number by 2 units. This is depicted as below
B84e→H42e+H42e ............. (2)
Adding equation (1) and (2) we get
L83i→B84e+e0−1B84e→H42e+H42eL83i→2H42e+e0−1
(As the B84e on both sides will cancel each other)
Hence, the overall equation for the radioactive decay of L83i which produces β and then later on a. s depicted as L83i→2H42e+e0−1
(c)
Interpretation:
The equation for radioactive decay of B74e where there is electron capture needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Radioactive decay takes place when an atomic nucleus is unstable such that it gets converted to smaller stable nuclei emitting radiations like alpha, beta, and gamma. This happens only when the number of protons and neutrons are not balanced.
(c)

Answer to Problem 4E
The radioactive decay of B74e where there is electron capture has equation as B74e+e0−1→L73i
Explanation of Solution
The radioactive decay of B74e where there is electron capture and the equation is depicted as
B74e+e0−1→?
While computing the mass numbers and atomic mass for unknown element, it is found that
Mass number: 7 + 0 = ?
x = 7
Atomic number: 4 + (-1) =?
y= 3
Hence unknown element is x73 . Looking through the periodic table, it is found that element with mass number 7 and atomic number 3 is Li. Hence, the element is L73i . The electron capture will decrease the atomic number by 1 with no changes in mass number. The radioactive decay of B74e where electron capture is depicted as B74e+e0−1→L73i
Hence, the overall equation for the radioactive decay of B74e where there is electron capture is depicted as B74e+e0−1→L73i

Interpretation:
The equation for radioactive decay of B85 which emits positron needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
When an atomic nucleus is unstable then it gets converted to smaller stable nuclei emitting radiations like alpha, beta, and gamma and this process is called as radioactive decay. This happens only when there is imbalance in number of protons and neutrons.
(d)

Answer to Problem 4E
The radioactive decay of B85 which emits positron has equation as B85→B84e+e01
Explanation of Solution
The radioactive decay of B85 which emits positron is depicted as
B85→x+e01
While computing the mass numbers and atomic mass for unknown element, it is found that
Mass number: 8 = x+ 0
x = 8
Atomic number: 5 = x + 1
x= 4
Hence unknown element is x84 . Looking through the periodic table, it is found that element with mass number 8 and atomic number 4 is Be. Hence, the element is B84e . The emission of positron will decrease the atomic number by 1 with no changes in mass number. The radioactive decay of B85 which emits positron is depicted as B85→B84e+e01
Hence, the overall equation for the radioactive decay B85 which emits positron has equation as B85→B84e+e01
