Chapter 21.4, Problem 1PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Balanced equation for ${}_{46}^{106}Pd(\alpha ,p){}_{47}^{109}Ag$ has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Nuclear transmutation is the induced conversion of the nucleus of one element into the nucleus of another, done by high-energy bombardment of nuclei in a particle accelerator.

In a reaction,${}_{46}^{106}Pd(\alpha ,p){}_{47}^{109}Ag$, where $Pd$ is the target nucleus, $Ag$ is the product nucleus, $\alpha$ is the bombarding particle and $p$ is the ejected particle
