Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Balanced
Concept Introduction:
Nuclear reaction is the one where the nucleus of the atom is involved in the reaction. This can be represented in form of a nuclear equation. A balanced nuclear equation is the one in which the sum of subscripts on both sides are equal and sum of superscripts on both sides are equal.
(b)
Interpretation:
Balanced nuclear equation has to be written for nitrogen-13 undergoing positron emission.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
Balanced nuclear equation has to be written for iridium-178 captures an electron to form stable nucleus.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
Balanced nuclear equation has to be written for three identical nucleus formed from a proton and boron-11.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(e)
Interpretation:
Balanced nuclear equation has to be written for carbon-12 colliding with a transuranium isotope resulting in formation of nobelium-252 and six neutrons.
Concept Introduction:
Refer part (a).
