A neutron causes the element 88X232 to change according to the reaction 0n1 + 88

Question

A neutron causes the element 88X232 to change according to the reaction 0n1 + 88X232 ---->ZYA + . Identify the (a) atomic number and (b) atomic mass number of the daughter nucleus. (c) This product subsequently undergoes - decay, and its daughter does too. Identify the atomic number of the final nucleus. (d) Give the atomic mass number of this final nucleus. (will give life saver for correct answers for all)

Explanation / Answer

(a) atomic number = z = 0+88 = 88 (b) atomi mass number = A = 1+232 = 233 (c) the element is radium 0n1 + 88Ra233 ---->88Ra234 and Ra 224 under goes alpha decay to 88Ra234 -> 2He4 + 86Rn220 atomic number of final nucleys is 86 (d) atomic mass numer of final nucleus is 220
