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?

1)
6428Ni + 12450Sn===>18878Pt
2)
6428Ni + 13250Sn===>19678Pt
