QUESTION:

Write the balanced nuclear equation for each of the following:a. potassium-40 (? decay)b. sulfur-35 (? decay)c. platinum-190 (? decay)d. Ra-210 (? decay)e. In-113m (? emission)

ANSWER:

Solution 56 AQP:Here, we are going to write the complete balanced nuclear equations.Step 1: (a) potassium-40 ( decay)Beta decay (is formed from the breakdown of a neutron into a proton and an electron (beta). The charge of beta decay is 1-. It is denoted as (.For beta decay emission, the mass number of the new nucleus remains the same and its atomic number increases by 1.For example: Therefore, the complete balanced nuclear equation is given below:(decay)________________
