Answer to Problem 19PP
Nuclear equation for the transmutation of the radioactive lead isotope
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Beta decay is a radioactive decay which involves the emission of beta ray from a nucleus of an atom. In the process of beta decay the proton which is present in the nucleus is converted into neutron and this takes place vice versa. If there is transformation of proton to neutron then it is called as Beta
In given example of
The emission of
Thus, the equation for the transmutation can be written as,
Conclusion:
The required reaction is
