Question inside!:)

|dw:1434907802971:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

as we can see from your reaction, the mass number will decrease by four units as we go from left side to the right side. Furthermore, the atomic number will decrease by 2 units as we go from left side to right side, so the complete reaction is: |dw:1434908046133:dw| namely it is \alpha particle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be the full equation.. continued off like this? ..Np + alpha particle 4 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would make it the complete equation?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right! Please see my tutorial: http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/5573f338e4b0bffbfeff3829

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh okie yay! thanks!! :) so that is it for part 1?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

it is for part #2 too since the radiation involved is the "alpha radiation"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okie! yay! what about part 3? :)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the involved alpha particle is coming from the nucleus of: \[\Large {}_{95}^{241}Am\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh okie Yay!! so this problem is complete? :O

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! we have finished!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!! thanks so much!!!:D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
