Chapter 10.5, Problem 10.17P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in samarium-153 should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. Atomic number is represented by Z.

Also, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons present in a neutral atom.

Mass number is equal to the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

A balanced nuclear equation for emission of β particle from samarium-153 should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The reactions involving formation of new nucleus with emission of some radiation along with it from an original nucleus are known as nuclear reactions.

To write a nuclear reaction the chemical equation for the reaction must be balanced that is the sum of atomic number and mass number on both the side should be equal.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The activity of the solution after 8 days should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The number of disintegrations per second in eachsample in radioactive decay process is termed as activity and is denoted by A.
