COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING NUCLEAR REACTIONS USING THE PERIODIC TABLE rn 158 0 rn5. 64 gd -----> -1 e + ________
Accepted Answer
The complete nuclear reaction is:
158 0
64 Gd ----→ -1 e + 158
65 Tb
The reaction represents beta decay, where a neutron in the Gd nucleus decays into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino. The atomic number increases by one (from 64 to 65), resulting in the formation of Terbium (Tb). The mass number remains the same (158).
