Answer to Question #226742 in Atomic and Nuclear Physics for Mis

Question

Two nuclides are represented as X(mass number= 70, proton= 32) and Y(mass number=37, proton=17) are added to a proton to form a new nuclide. Determine the ratio of a proton-neutron of the new nuclide.

Answer 1

Gives

For case X

Mass number (A)=70

Proton number

(P)=32

Case Y

Mass number (A)=37

Proton (p)=17

⁷⁰X₃₂+³⁷Y₁₇$\rightarrow^{107} Z$ ₄₉

new elements proton

(P) =49

Neutron (n)=58

New nuclei ratio of proton and Neutron

$\frac{p}{n}=\frac{49}{58}$
