To make gallium -67 for diagnostic work, zinc -66 is bombarded with accelerated protons. Write a balanced equation to represent the process when a zinc -66 nucleus captures a single proton.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The balanced equation to represent the process of capture of a single proton by a zinc -66 nucleus is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The process by which an unstable nucleus radiates energy along with the emission of an alpha or beta particle is known as radioactive decay. A substance is said to be radioactive if it possesses an unstable nucleus. The process is spontaneous. It is also known as nuclear radiation.

Explanation of Solution

It is given that zinc -66 captures a proton to form gallium -67. The atomic numbers of zinc and gallium are 30 and 31 respectively. A proton can be represented as 11p
