(a)
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
(b)
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:
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.
