QUESTION:
Write a balanced equation for each of the following radioactive emissions: (4.2)a. an alpha particle from Hg-180b. a beta particle from Au-198c. a positron from Rb-82
ANSWER:Solution 77 CQHere we have to write a balanced equation for each of the following radioactive emissionsStep-1a. an alpha particle from Hg-1801st we will write the incomplete reaction,80180 Hg + 24HeDetermine the mass number:180 = X + 4X = 180-4 = 176(mass of new nucleus)Determine the atomic number:80 = X + 2 X = 80-2X = 78 (atomic number of
