QUESTION:
The first radioactive isotope was produced in 1934 by the bombardment of aluminum-27 by an alpha particle to produce a radioactive isotope and one neutron. What is the balanced nuclear equation for this transmutation?
ANSWER:Solution 5SC:Here we have to write the balanced nuclear equation for the transmutation of aluminum-27 by an alpha particle to produce a radioactive isotope and one neutron.Step-1An alpha particle can be written as 42 HeThe bombardment of alpha particle with 2713Al, will form a new isotope with the em
