Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

“Write a balance nuclear equation for the beta decay of each of the following radioactive isotopes

a. N1125a

b. O820

c. Strontium-92

d. Iron-60”

Should be explained

Concept introduction:

► Alpha particles (α24): The notation of alpha particles is α24. It has +2 positive charge and 4 amu mass.

► Beta particle (β10): The notation of beta particle is β10. It has -1 negative charge and approximately 0 amu mass as the mass of electron.

► Positron particle (β+10): The notation of positron particle is β+10. It has +1postive charge and approximately 0 amu mass as the mass of electron.

► Gamma ray (γ00): The notation of gamma ray is γ00. It is high energy radiation without mass and charge.

► To balance the nuclear reaction following rules are following:

1. The sum of the subscript means the atomic numbers must be equal on the both side of the equation.

2. The sum of the superscript means the mass numbers must be equal on the both side of the equation.
