Apr. 24 Show anyour work and Due at the beginning of class Fill in include units in your answers for credit. the missing products) in full Also where r the following nuclear decay reactions. Use the notation for indicate whether symbol, zisthe atomic number. and A is the atomic mass number. electron caprure. each reaction an example alpha decay, beta decay, beta decay. or is of 31 (a) Si 14 e i a, A ,P or EC? (b) 210 2He a, P-, or EC? P+, (c) i Na e- v a, P-, or EC?Explanation / Answer
31Si14 ------- 31 SI14 +e + v
it is a decay
2.) 210 Pb 82 -------.> 206 Pb 80 + 4He4
it is alpha decay
3.) 22Na11 + e -------. 22Na11 +v
it is + decay
In beta minus () decay, a neutron is converted to a proton and the process creates an electron and an electron antineutrino; while in beta plus (+) decay, a proton is converted to a neutron and the process creates a positron and an electron neutrino. +decay is also known as positron emission
