Question

The synthesis of new elements and specific isotopes of known elements in linear accelerators involves that fusion of smaller nuclei.

An isotope of platinum can be prepared from nickel-64 and tin-124. Write a balanced equation for this nuclear reaction.

Substitution of tin-132 for tin-124 increases the rate of the fusion reaction 10 times. Which isotope of Pt is formed in this reaction?
