Chapter 20, Problem 51E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ways by which fission reactions are similar and different to fusion reactions are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The elements whose nucleus decays spontaneously are known as radioactive elements. The decay is accompanied by the emission of alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. All the elements which have an atomic number greater than 83 are radioactive. The process by which a radioactive nucleus splits to give two nuclei of smaller masses is known as nuclear fission.

Shown below is the mechanism presented for the formation of biasplatin in reference 1 from the Background and Experiment document. The amounts used of each reactant are shown.  Either draw or describe a better alternative to this mechanism. (Note that the first step represents two steps combined and the proton loss is not even shown; fixing these is not the desired improvement.)  (Hints: The first step is correct, the second step is not; and the amount of the anhydride is in large excess to serve a purpose.)
