Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The equation for the given bombardment of U with
Concept introduction:
During nuclear reaction, when one element is bombarded on another element the nucleus becomes unstable radiating some particle-like alpha or beta and they can be represented as equations. This equation will have the same mass number and
(b)
Interpretation:
Equation for the given bombardment of tritium
Concept introduction:
In nuclear reaction, the equations will have the same mass number and atomic number on both the side of the equation. That means the addition of a mass number of the right side of nuclear reaction should be equal to the left side and so as for atomic number.
(c)
Interpretation:
Equation for the given bombardment of S with neutrons to produce P is to be determined
Concept introduction:
During nuclear reaction when one element is bombarded on another element the nucleus becomes unstable radiating some particle-like alpha or beta and they can be represented as equations. These equations will have the same mass number and atomic number on both the side of the equation.
