Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The overall equation in shorthand notation has to be written for the given reaction starting with the stable isotope before neutron activation.
Concept Introduction:
Balancing nuclear reaction equation: The balanced nuclear reaction should conserve both mass number and atomic number.
- The sum of the mass numbers of the reactants should be equal to the sum of mass numbers of the products in the reaction.
- The sum of
atomic numbers (or the atomic charge) of the reactants should be equal to the sum of atomic numbers (or the atomic charge) of the products in the reaction.
In NAA (neutron activation analysis), non-radioactive sample is bombarded with the neutrons where a small part of its atoms get converted to radioisotopes. These radioisotopes get decayed by emitting different radiations for each isotope.
