(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Given nuclear equation has to be completed and then the mass number, atomic number, and symbol for the remaining particle should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Nuclear reaction is a physical process in which there is a change in identity of an atomic nucleus. Natural radioactive decays, artificial radioactive decays... are considered as nuclear reactions because these processes make changes in the identity of an atomic nucleus.

Common particles in radioactive decay and nuclear transformations are mentioned below,

Explanation of Solution

Given incomplete nuclear reaction is,

47111Ag48111Cd+?

47111Ag Undergoes nuclear reaction, producing 48111Cd; there is no changes in products and reactant’s mass number while the atomic number is increased by one. Therefore according to the above mentioned table, probable decay in this reaction is Betadecay(-10β)

Thus,

The complete reaction is,

47111Ag48111Cd+-10β

Explanation of Solution

Given incomplete nuclear reaction is,

3687Kr10β+?

3687Kr Undergoes nuclear reaction, eliminating a 10β; there will be no changes in mass number but the atomic number will be increased by one after beta decay. Therefore the probable product is 3787Rb

Thus,

The complete reaction is,

3687Kr10β+3787Rb

Explanation of Solution

Given incomplete nuclear reaction is,

91231Pa89227Ac+?

Comparing both side of the equation, the atomic number of product is reduced by two than in reactant which means the reactant undergoes an alpha decay.

Thus,

The complete reaction is,

91231Pa89227Ac+24α
