Write the nuclear reactions for the following radioactive decay:
(a) `._(92)U^(238)` undergoes `alpha-` decay.
(b) `._(91)Pa^(234)` undergoes `Beta-` decay.
(c) `._(11)Na^(22)` undergoes `Beta^(+)` decay.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`a. ` `._(92)U^(238)rarr ` `._(90)Th^(234)+` `._(2)He^(4)`
`b.` `._(91)Pa^(234)rarr ` `._(2)U^(234)+` `._(-1)e^(0)(beta^(c-))`
`c.` `._(11)Na^(22)rarr ` `._(10)Ne^(22)+` `._(+1)e^(0)(beta^(o+))`
