When one element is converted into another element artificially then it is known as Artificial Transmutation. It is a type of artificial radioactivity. This concept came in the year 1919…
Induced Radioactivity is a type of Artificial Radioactivity. A process in which a new radioactive isotope is prepared by using a known element is known as Induced Radioactivity. This concept…
When natural element like Uranium (U238) with neutrons having some velocity is bombarded, single neutron is being captured per atom of the element Uranium which gives birth to an element…
For the complete equation of nuclear reaction, it must include the change in energy of the reaction also. The energy change in the nuclear reaction is represented by Q. Hence…
3Li7 + 1H1 ——–> 22He4 Check whether the reaction is exoergic or endoergic The value of Q can be calculated from the masses of the products and reactants of the…
As we know that any positively charged particle like the alpha particle is positively charged , when approaches the nucleus, it gets repelled by the nucleus. This repulsive force between…
Radiation chemistry is a branch of chemistry which is developed is recent years. Whenever a substance is exposed to extremely high radiations of energy like gamma rays, some reactions take…
One of the best examples for understanding the concept of radiation chemistry is Radiolysis of Water Vapour using gamma radiations. Some of the major products of Radiolysis of Water Vapour…
Formation of ionic products: During Radiolysis of Water Vapour, some of the ionic products which are produced are as follows: γ + H2O ——> H2O* ——> H2O+ + 2e–——>e– +…
Formation of free radicals: The ionic products which are formed during Radiolysis of Water Vapour are very reactive. So they get recombined to form free radicals. The formation of free…
