Radon-198 does not decay via beta decay. It is thought to decay by alpha decay, but that is not certain. The equation would be ...

86198Rn -> (Alpha, T1/2 = 86 ms) -> 84194Po + 24He2+

The equations decay of Mb-99 to Tc-99?

Technetium-99 is produced through the decay of Molybdenum-99. Molybdenum-99 undergoes beta decay to form Technetium-99, with the emission of a beta particle (electron) and an antineutrino. This decay process is commonly utilized in nuclear medicine for imaging and diagnostic purposes.


How do you do nuclear decay equations?

To write nuclear decay equations, you would typically start with the parent nucleus and identify the type of decay (alpha, beta, gamma). Then, you would balance the equation by conserving mass number and atomic number on both sides of the equation. Finally, you write the decay products. Remember to include the correct particles emitted during the decay process.


Why energy of beta particles is different in beta particle decay?

The energy of beta particles in beta decay is not fixed because it depends on the specific isotope and decay process involved. Beta decay can produce high-energy electrons and positrons through beta minus and beta plus decay, respectively. The energy of the beta particles is determined by the energy released during the decay process.


Alpha and beta decay emit what?

Alpha decay emits an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. Beta decay emits either an electron (beta minus decay) or a positron (beta plus decay).


What are reactants and products in nuclear decay equations?

In nuclear decay equations, reactants are the original unstable nucleus undergoing decay, while products are the resulting stable or daughter nucleus and any emitted particles such as alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. The reactants are on the left side of the equation, and the products are on the right side.

What does the e represent in beta decay equations?

In beta decay equations, e- refers to an electron (in beta-), and e+ refers to a positron (in beta+).Not asked, but answered for completeness, ve refers to the electron neutrino that accompanies the positron, and v-e refers to the electron antineutrino that accompanies the electron.
