Chapter 9, Problem 81P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The new element produced after bombardment of $\text{N}\text{i}$ on $Pb$ with 6 electron emissions should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

An element containing isotopes which are emitting radiations are known as radioactive isotopes. This can emit radiation because of instability its nuclei. Isotopes which are having balance numbers of protons and neutrons are stable, but the serious imbalance can lead to nuclear reaction.

Nuclear reactions which are seen in elements are Beta-emission, alpha emission, positron emission, gamma emission and electron capture.
