There are two isotopes of americium, both with half-lives sufficiently long to allow the handling of large quantities. Americium-241, with a half-life of 432 years, is an α emitter used in smoke detectors. The isotope is formed from 239Pu by absorption of two neutrons followed by emission of a β particle. Write a balanced equation for this process.
