(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Given figure is whether an example of fission or of fusion has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Nuclear fission: It is the process in which a heavy nucleolus (whose mass number greater than the 200) splits into form smaller nuclei of intermediate mass and one more neutrons.

A large atomic nucleus gets decomposed due to bombardment of some subatomic particle forming one or more than one.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Other nuclide formed has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Nuclear fission: It is the process in which a heavy nucleolus (whose mass number greater than the 200) splits into form smaller nuclei of intermediate mass and one more neutrons.

A large atomic nucleus gets decomposed due to bombardment of some subatomic particle forming one or more than one.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mode of decay has to be predicted for a nuclide with Z=55 in the given reaction.

Concept Introduction:

Nuclides that are unstable generally decay in a mode that changes its N/Z ratio to the band of stability.

  • Nuclides having many neutrons (Neutron-rich nuclides) have a high N/Z ratio and lies above the band of stability. Therefore, to decrease N/Z ratio these nuclides undergo β decay.
  • Nuclides having many protons (Proton-rich nuclides) have a low N/Z ratio and lies below the band of stability. Therefore, to increase N/Z ratio these nuclides undergo e capture and/or β+ decay. Heavier elements mostly undergo e capture whereas lighter elements undergo β+ emission.
  • Nuclides having Z>83 are considered as too heavy to be stable. To decrease the values of Z and N, it undergoes α decay.
