Chapter 22.1, Problem 22.1P

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

One isotope decays by β emission and other isotope decay by α emission, has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Radioactive Nuclei:  The radioactive nuclei higher neutron/proton ratios tend to emit by β particles, while nuclei with lower neutron/proton ratios tend to undergo nuclear decay by positron emission, electron capture, or α emission.

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

One isotope decays by positron emission and other isotope is a non-radioactive has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Radioactive Nuclei:  The radioactive nuclei higher neutron/proton ratios tend to emit by β particles, while nuclei with lower neutron/proton ratios tend to undergo nuclear decay by positron emission, electron capture, or α emission.
