(a)
Interpretation:
The equation for the beta decay of the isotope
Concept Interpretation:
Strontium
(a)
Answer to Problem 60A
Explanation of Solution
To write a nuclear reaction for this type of radioactive decay, recall that beta radiation is the emission of an electron because a neutron breaks apart into a proton. Make sure the
(b)
Interpretation:
Equation for the beta decay of the isotope
Concept Interpretation:
Carbon
(b)
Answer to Problem 60A
Explanation of Solution
To write a nuclear reaction for this type of radioactive decay, recall that beta radiation is the emission of an electron because a neutron breaks apart into a proton. Make sure the atomic number and mass number of the reactants equal the atomic number and mass number of the products.
(c)
Interpretation:
Equation for the beta decay of the isotope
Concept Interpretation:
The medium-energy gamma rays and, to a lesser extent, the high-energy beta particles that are emitted by a Cs-137 atom break molecules in cells and deposit energy in tissues, causing harm.
(c)
Answer to Problem 60A
Explanation of Solution
To write a nuclear reaction for this type of radioactive decay, recall that beta radiation is the emission of an electron because a neutron breaks apart into a proton. Make sure the atomic number and mass number of the reactants equal the atomic number and mass number of the products.
(d)
Interpretation:
Equation for the beta decay of the isotope
Concept Interpretation:
The actinide series transuranium element neptunium
(d)
Answer to Problem 60A
Explanation of Solution
To write a nuclear reaction for this type of radioactive decay, recall that beta radiation is the emission of an electron because a neutron breaks apart into a proton. Make sure the atomic number and mass number of the reactants equal the atomic number and mass number of the products.
(e)
Interpretation:
Equation for the beta decay of the isotope
Concept Interpretation:
Since titanium metal adheres well to the bone, it has been used in surgical procedures for tooth implants and joint replacements, particularly the hip.
(e)
Answer to Problem 60A
