Table Ebook uestion 12 of 21 (1 point) The synthesis of new elements and specific isotopes of known elements in linear accelerators involves the fusion of smaller nuclel (a) An isotope of platinum can be prepared from nickel-64 and tin-124. Write a balanced equation for this nuclear reaction. (You may assume that no neutrons are ejected in the fusion reaction.) ) Substitution of tin-132 for tin-124 increases the rate of the fusion reaction 10 times. Which isotope of Pt is ormed in this reaction? tormed nthis reacion22 -1 eases the rate of the fusion reaction 10 emeswichstope o Pts Tip: Enter the element symbol and then place the cursor before the symbol. Click on the isotope button H in the Tools menu to add the stacked superscript and subscript before the element symbol. Use the right arrow key to navigate between the superscript, subscript, and element symbol Check Answer Vew Soution Hint Progress :
