Discuss the below:
1)Consider the following nuclear processes which are used to produce isotopes used in medical imaging:
Unknown nucleus A+ (_1^1)P →(_8^15)O+ (_0^1)n (equation 1)
An induced nuclear fission which occurs in two steps as shown in Equation 2 and Equation 3 below:
(_92^235)U+ (_0^1)n →unkown nuclus B (Equation2)
Unknown nucleus B
unknown nucleus B→99¦42Mo+ unknown nucleus C+ 41¦(0 ) n (Equation 3)
Find the mass number and atomic number for each of the unknown nuclei A, B and C, and hence identify them, Could you please explain how you came to your answer thanks, show all working out in full!!!
2)a) Write an equation for the beta-plus decay of the oxygen isotope.
b) write an equation for beta-minus decay of the molybdenum isotope
c) write equations for each of the decays in part (a) and (b) in terms of the quarks iinvolved.
