1-Write all the balanced nuclear equations for each step of the nuclear decay sequence that starts with U-238 and ends with U-234. Refer to Figure 17.9 for the decay processes involved.

2-Name one thing that all types of nuclear reactions have in common and one way in which they are different from each other.

Solutions

Expert Solution

1) The balanced reaction will be

Hence they will reach the desired reaction by 4 neutrons getting decayed back to back. The balanced reaction is given above

2) The nuclear reactions will generally involve change in atomic nucleus releasing energy. The nuclear reaction generally are of two types: fission and fusion.

In fission, the bigger nucleus disintegrates into smaller onces to release energy (Decomposition reaction)

In fusion, the smaller nucleus join with each other to form a bigger compound (Combination reaction)
