(a)
Interpretation:
The unknown particle in the given nuclear process has to be completed.
Concept Introduction:
Balancing
- 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.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
The bombardment of Deuterium nuclei with Cadmium-114, produce an unknown particle and a proton particle. The unknown particle is predicted by the rule that says the
The elemental representation is,
The complete nuclear reaction is
(b)
Interpretation:
The unknown particle in the given nuclear process has to be completed.
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.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
The bombardment of Deuterium nuclei with Lithium-6, produce an unknown particle and a neutron particle. The unknown particle is predicted by the rule that says the atomic and mass number must be equal.
The elemental representation is written as
The complete nuclear reaction is

- Which of the various particles ( particles, particles, and so on) that may be produced in a nuclear reaction are actually nuclei?arrow_forwardPlutonium was detected in trace amounts in natural uranium deposits by Glenn Seaborg and his associates in 1941. They proposed that the source of this 239Pu was the capture of neutrons by 238U nuclei. Why is this plutonium not likely to have been trapped at the time the solar system formed 4.7109 years ago?arrow_forward
