To analyze the nuclear reaction and determine the appropriate answers for each question, we typically need to know the initial reactants and products of the nuclear reaction. However, since we don't have that information directly available, I can provide you with general guidance based on common types of nuclear reactions.
-
What is the atomic mass of the new atom?: The atomic mass of the new atom would depend on the specific reaction. If it results in a common product like radium, the atomic mass might be around 223 (if we assume a common isotope). So, a. 223 could be a possible answer depending on the context.
-
What is the atomic number of the new atom?: Similar to the atomic mass, the atomic number also depends on the specific atom formed during the reaction. Commonly, if it were radium (Ra) as assumed above, the atomic number is 88. So, b. 88 might be the correct answer.
-
What is the symbol of the new atom?: If we have assumed that the reaction produces radium (an element with atomic number 88), then the symbol would be l. Ra.
-
What type of decay is demonstrated here?: If the reaction involves a common alpha decay (which is typical for uranium and radium), it would be c. Alpha Decay. However, if it were another type of decay, such as beta decay, we would need to know the specifics to provide the correct answer.
Putting this all together based on typical nuclear reactions (especially those related to radium):
- (Atomic mass): a. 223
- (Atomic number): b. 88
- (Symbol): l. Ra
- (Type of decay): c. Alpha Decay
Please verify these answers with the specific reaction you are studying to ensure accuracy.
