Nuclear Reactions

Nuclear reactions are processes in which the fundamental characteristics of a nucleus changes. They change into a completely different nucleus. These processes occur naturally in an unstable nucleus. Bombarding an energetic particle can induce nuclear reactions. In this article, both the naturally occurring nuclear reactions are termed as radioactive decay and the induced nuclear reactions are further categorized as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

Part A A high-energy particle scattered from the nucleus of an atom helps determine the size and shape of the nucleus.

Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Task 3 Radioactive decay is the process of transforming nucleus from unstable state to more stable state. The rate of radioactive decay depends on the specifications of the substance. Depending on that, we can define the half-life as the amount of time needed to convert half of the substance from the unstable radioactive state to the stable state. If you know that the rate of decay for a certain substance is proportional to the amount of the current substance x(t). Formulate a differential equation to express the previous (i) system. (ii) Solve this first order differential equation. (iii) If you know that for a certain substance (carboon-14), 5730 years are needed to convert half of the substance, find the value of the proportional constant.
