Chapter 10, Problem 25P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The mass and charge of the radiation should be determined which has symbol $\alpha$.

Concept Introduction:

A reaction in which a nucleus of an atom or two nuclei and a subatomic particle collide to form one or more nuclide which is different from the starting nuclide is known as nuclear reaction. Nuclear reactions can be classified as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

The expression of isotope is given by: $\text{X}$

Where, A = mass number and Z = atomic number or charge.

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons of an element whereas sum of number of protons and number of neutrons is equal to mass number.

For neutral atom, number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The mass and charge of the radiation should be determined which has symbol $n$.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The mass and charge of the radiation should be determined which has symbol $\gamma$.
