Question

at is decays by electron capture. The product of this reaction undergoes alpha decay. What the product of this second decay reaction? a m b c c. Ar d. Ca e. Sc Al (n.? Na? 26. what is the eected particle in the nuclear transmutation a. a neutron b. a proton c. an alpha particle d. a beta particle e. a gamma photon 27 Boron-10 was bombarded with neutrons. Each 19B nucleus was struck by one neutron and emitted one alpha particle. What was the product nucleus? a. Boron-9 b. Beryllium-11 c. Helium-4 d. Carbon-12 e. Lithium-7

Explanation / Answer

2041Ca + -10e ----------->   2141Sc

2141Sc ---------------> 1937Cl   + 24He

b. Cl

26.

            1327Al   + 01n-----------> 1124Na   +   24He ( alpha particle)

c. an alpha particle

27.

           510B + 01n ----------------->     37Li       + 24He

      e. Lithium-7
