What happens in the artificial transmutation of an element? Included an example.

Chemistry
1 answer:
andreev551 [17]3 years ago
7 0
In artificial transmutations the nucleus is bombarded with high-energy (kinetics energy) particles to induce transmutation. There are two reactants or the nucleus that is being bombarded and the high-energy particle. 

<span>High-energy particles are accelerated in accelerators, by the application of electric and magnetic fields. Neutrons cannot be accelerated in accelerators using electric and magnetic fields because their charge is 0. 

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

Neptunium-237 undergoes a series of α-particle and β-particle productions to end up as thallium-205. How many α particles and β
Fantom [35]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

8 alpha particles

4 beta particles

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Neptunium-237
  • Thallium-205
  • Neptunium-237 undergoes beta and alpha decay to form Thallium-205.

We are required to determine the number of beta and alpha particles produced to complete the decay series.

  • We need to know that when a radioisotope emits an alpha particle the mass number reduces by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
  • When a beta particle is emitted the mass number of the radioisotope increases by 1 while the atomic number remains the same.

In this case;

Neptunium-237 has an atomic number 93, while,

Thallium-205 has an atomic number 81.

Therefore;

²³⁷₉₃Np → x⁴₂He + y⁰₋₁e + ²⁰⁵₈₁Ti

We can get x and y

237 = 4x + y(0) + 205

237-205 = 4x

4x = 32

 x = 8

On the other hand;

93 = 2x + (-y) + 81

but x = 8

93 = 16 -y + 81

y = 4

Therefore, the complete decay equation is;

²³⁷₉₃Np → 8⁴₂He + 4⁰₋₁e + ²⁰⁵₈₁Ti

Thus, Neptunium-237 emits 8 alpha particles and 4 beta particles to become Thallium-205.
