Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To complete the nuclear reaction by supplying the missing particles.
Concept Introduction:
The radioactive decay is also known as nuclear transformation. The nuclear transformation is the conversion of the unstable nucleus into stable nucleus. 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.
Alpha decay is the decay in which mass number is decreases by 4 and
