Identify each of the following as alpha decay, beta decay, positron emission, or gamma emission: (5.1, 5.2)a. ¹²⁷₅₅Cs → ¹²⁷₅₄Xe + ⁰₊₁e

In problems5.51 to 5.54, a nucleus is shown with protons and neutrons.

Complete the following bombardment reaction by drawing thenucleus of the new isotope that is produced in the following:(5.2)

Identify each of the following as alpha decay, beta decay, positron emission, or gamma emission: (5.1, 5.2)a. ²⁷₁₃Al → ²⁷₁₃Al + ⁰₀γ

Identify each of the following as alpha decay, beta decay, positron emission, or gamma emission: (5.1, 5.2)c. ²¹⁸₈₅At → ²¹⁴₈₃Bi + ⁴₂He

Identify each of the following as alpha decay, beta decay, positron emission, or gamma emission: (5.1, 5.2)b. ⁹⁰₃₈Sr → ⁹⁰₃₉Y + ⁰₋₁e

a. What are the products in the fission of uranium-235 that make possible a nuclear chain reaction? (5.6)

Where does fusion occur naturally? (5.6)

All the elements beyond uranium, the transuranium elements, have been prepared by bombardment and are not naturally occurring elements. The first transuranium element neptunium, Np, was prepared by bombarding U-238 with neutrons to form a neptunium atom and a beta particle. Complete the following equation: (5.2)¹₀n + ²³⁸₉₂U →? + ?

Thorium-232 decays by a 10-step series, ultimately yielding lead-208. How many α particles and how many β particles are emitted?
