Chapter 25.3, Problem 25.3CYU

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An equation for the probable mode of decay for each of the following unstable isotopes has to be written.

Concept introduction:

The unstable isotopes most commonly emit alpha particles (${\text{He}}^{\text{2+}}$), in rare cases it emits alpha (or) beta particles. The electrons, Neutrons, protons, and positrons can also be emitted. Electrons are captured to attain a more stable atomic configuration through a process called radioactive decay.
