Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To write the balanced equation of beta decay of the given nuclide 188 7 4 W.
Concept Introduction:
The radioactive decay is the decay of the alpha, beta emission etc. The decay of these type of particles produces the stable nucleus. The nuclear transformation is the chain reaction.
Chain reaction means the reaction proceed in continuity till it will form the stable nucleus.
Beta decay is the decay in which
(b)
Interpretation:
To write the balanced equation of beta decay of the given nuclide 40 1 9 K.
Concept Introduction:
The radioactive decay is the decay of the alpha, beta emission etc. The decay of these type of particles produces the stable nucleus. The nuclear transformation is the chain reaction.
Chain reaction means the reaction proceed in continuity till it will form the stable nucleus.
Beta decay is the decay in which atomic number increases by 1 and no change in the mass number.

EBK INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY
- Which of the various particles ( particles, particles, and so on) that may be produced in a nuclear reaction are actually nuclei?arrow_forwardMany nuclides with atomic numbers greater than 83 decay by processes such as electron emission. Explain the observation that the emissions from these unstable nuclides also normally include particles.arrow_forward
