Question

Identify the nuclide produced when plutonium-239 decays by alpha emission: rightarrow + ? Express your answer as an isotope using prescripts. Identify the nuclide produced when carbon-14 decays by beta emission: rightarrow + ? Express your answer as an isotope using prescripts. Identify the nuclide produced when fluorine-18 decays by positron emission: rightarrow + ? Identify the nuclide produced when thallium-201 decays by electron capture: + rightarrow + ?

Explanation / Answer

sol. the eq. is as 239Pu94 --> 235U 92+4He 2 so 14C6 => 14N 7+ e- + ve 9F18 ------> 8O17 + e+ 201 Hg 80
