Fill in the blanks:

b) In radioactive deacy reactions, the _____ is the nucleus that is undergoing radioactive decay while the ________ is the new nucleus that is made.

Expert Solution

a) For nuclides, if the N/Z ratio is (too low) , Protons are converted to neutrons via e- capture.

b) In radioactive decay reactions, the ( mother element) is the nucleus that is undergoing radioactive decay while the (daughter element) is the new nucleus that is made.

Why is the ratio of neutrons to protons greater in the heavier elements? (A) The greater the number of protons, the weaker the proton-neutron strong nuclear force. (B) The greater the number of neutrons, the weaker the proton-neutron strong nuclear force. (C) The greater the number of protons, the greater the electrostatic force of repulsion. (D) The greater the number of neutrons, the greater the electrostatic force of repulsion. (E) There is actually a lesser ratio of neutrons to protons...

Let G be finite with |G| > 1. If Aut(G) acts transitively on G − {e} then G ∼= (Z/(p))n for some prime p.
