Nuclear chemistry
1
Q
Nuclear chemistry
A
Concerned about the instability of a nucleus
2
Q
Fission
A
Nuclear decay; particle loss from the nucleus
3
Q
Fusion
A
Nuclear capture; particle gain by the nucleus
4
Q
γ-emission
A
120/50X* –> hv + 120/50X
5
Q
γ-absorption
A
120/50X + hv –> 120/50X*
6
Q
α-decay
A
120/50X –> 4/2α + 116/48Y
7
Q
α-capture
A
120/50X + 4/2α –> 124/52A
8
Q
ß- decay
