Explanation:
10) From the options provided for this question, gamma particle is the most energetic. Recall that gamma rays are high energy electromagnetic radiation which are capable of causing a high degree of ionization in matter.
11) The bombardment of U-235 with neutrons leads to the reaction;
[tex]U\frac{235}{92} + n\frac{1}{0}---> I\frac{138}{53} + Y\frac{95}{39} +3n \frac{1}{0}[/tex]
Hence
a = 92, b= 95, c= 53
12) In positron emission, a proton is transformed into a neutron. The mass number of the daughter nucleus is the same as its parent but the atomic number decreases by 1.
Hence;
[tex]Th\frac{231}{90} -----> e\frac{1}{0} +Ac \frac{231}{89}[/tex]
