A B58 atom (mass = 8.0246 amu) decays into B48 atom (mass = 8.0053 amu) by loss of a + panrticle (mass = 0.00055 amu) or by electron capture. How much energy (in millions of electron volts) is produced by this reaction?
Technetium-99 is prepared from 98Mo. Molybdenum-SS combines with a neutron to give molybdenum-99, an unstable isotope that emits a particle to yield an excited form of technetium-99, represented as 99Tc*. This excited nucleus relaxes to the ground state, represented as 99Tc, by emitting a ray. The ground state of 99Tc then emits a particle. Write the equations for each of these nuclear reactions.
