Chapter 9, Problem 9.44AP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The nuclear reaction equation for decay of Sulfur-35 by beta emission reaction has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Beta emission reaction:

Beta particles are electrons (electrons with negative electric charge). Beta decay occurs when in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other.

  ZAXZ+1AX+-10e

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

The nuclear reaction equation for decay of Thorium-225 by an alpha emission has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Alpha decay reaction:

An alpha particle is a high energy particle that contains two protons and two neutrons.  An alpha particle is symbolized by the Greek letter alpha or the element symbol for helium has +2 charge and mass number of four.  If an alpha particle is emitted the mass of the nucleus decreased by four and the charge of the nucleus is decreased by two.

  ZAXZ-2A-4X+24α

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The nuclear reaction equation for decay of Rhodium-93 by positron emission has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Positron emission reaction:

Positron particles are electrons with positive electric charge. Positron decay occurs when in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other.

  ZAXZ-1AX++10e

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The nuclear reaction equation for decay of Silver-114 by Beta emission reaction has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
