Question

Write a series of nuclear equations to represent the bombardment of Al-27 with a neutron to form a product that then undergoes an alpha decay followed by a beta decay.

Part A

Equation for the bombardment of Al-27 with a neutron.

Express your answer as a nuclear equation.

Part B

Equation for alpha decay following Al-27 bombardment with a neutron.

Express your answer as a nuclear equation.

Part C

Equation for beta decay following the alpha decay resulting from Al-27 bombardment with a neutron.
