sorry guys but I need this question answered.
when they say Write the equation for beta decay of barium 137. do they mean the equation that produces or a product of barium when beta decay occurs

Question

unklerhaukus · Answer

when barium decays into a beta particle and other products

unklerhaukus · Answer

ie barium is in the left hand side of the equation only

anonymous · Answer

help me do this one  please

unklerhaukus · Answer

ok

unklerhaukus · Answer

i dont think
$$^{137}_{56}Ba$$does exhibit beta decay
.
Are you sure you have the right question?

anonymous · Answer

yes thats what i saw too i cant find anything because it says its stable. let me get the whole question.

anonymous · Answer

i)	Write the equation if Polonium 210 undergoes alpha radiation.
	ii)	Write the equation for beta decay of barium 137.

anonymous · Answer

thats the question

unklerhaukus · Answer

well $$^{210}Po \rightarrow ^{206}Pb+^4\alpha$$

anonymous · Answer

yeah I did the first one but the second

unklerhaukus · Answer

if this was the question
"Write the equation for beta decay 'to' barium 137"

then this would be your answer
$$^{137}Cs \rightarrow ^{137}Ba + ^-\beta$$but i think whoever wrote the question made a mistake

anonymous · Answer

I think so

anonymous · Answer

because I have a question that say Zn 57 but I suppose its Zn67

anonymous · Answer

i)	What is the equation for the beta decay that would produce zinc 
		57?  Be sure to check which kind of beta decay it would be.
	ii)	Would this still be the same for zinc 66?  Explain. I have this one too B part as well
