(a)
The element which is formed when boron isotope absorbs a proton and emits a neutron.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given information can be represented as follows:
Calculations:
When boron isotope would absorb a proton and emit a neutron, the mass number will not change but atomic number would increase by 1 because 1 proton is absorbed.
The atomic number of the element which will be formed would be
Conclusion:
Carbon element would be formed when Boron isotope is bombarded with protons.
(b)
To Write: The
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given information can be represented as follows:
Calculations:
There would be same amount of atomic number and mass number on both sides of the equation.
Thus, on the right side of the equation, mass number of the missing element would be
Conclusion:
Carbon element would be formed when Boron isotope is bombarded with protons.
(c)
To Write: The complete nuclear equation when boron isotope absorbs a proton and emits a neutron and the formed isotope decays by emitting a positron.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given information can be represented as follows:
Calculations:
When the carbon isotope would decay emitting a positron, then Boron would form.
Complete nuclear reaction equation is:
Conclusion:
Thus, complete equation is:
