Chapter 20, Problem 5E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The balanced equation for process which involves the electron capture in decay of Chromium -51 needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Electron capture is a process where nucleus captures electrons from surrounding cloud of electrons. By this process, the protons get converted to neutron and energy is emitted as gamma rays. Thereby the atomic number of the nucleus gets reduced by 1 unit keeping the mass number the same.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The balanced equation for process which involves the emission of β particle in decay of Iodine-131 and used to treat hyperactive thyroid glands needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Beta decay is the process where the nucleus changes neutron to proton and in which mass number remains the same while the atomic number decreases by 1 unit.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The balanced equation for process which involves the emission of β particle during the decay of Phosphorus-32 that accumulates in the liver needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Beta decay brings about changes of neutron to proton wherein the mass number remains unchanged while the atomic number decreases by 1 unit.
