In beta emission one neutron is converted to a proton and one electron.
Hence there is an increase in atomic number while the mass number remains the same.

Answer to Problem 22P
The complete reaction will be.
Explanation of Solution
As it is beta elimination here a neutron is converted to proton and electron.
So there is increase in atomic number.
The parent nucleus is Bismuth, on increase its proton number the element formed will have atomic number 84, this is polonium (symbol Po).
Hence the complete reaction will be.

Assume that the energy required to break a hydrogen bond is approximately 8 kJ/mol. Consider a simplified two-state model where a "formed" hydrogen bond is in the ground state and a "broken" bond is in the excited state. Using this model: • Calculate the fraction of broken hydrogen bonds at T = 300 K, and also at T = 273 K and T = 373 K. • At what temperature would approximately 50% of the hydrogen bonds be broken? • What does your result imply about the accuracy or limitations of the two-state model in describing hydrogen bonding in water?
