The reactions listed in Problem 53 did not stop there. To the surprise of the Curies, the phosphorus decay continued after the alpha bombardment ended with the phosphorus emitting a β+ to form yet another product. Write out this reaction, identifying the other product.

Data From Problem 53

Irène and Jean Frédéric Joliot-Curie, in an experiment that led to the 1935 Nobel Prize in chemistry, bombarded aluminum with alpha particles to form a highly unstable isotope of phosphorus The phosphorus immediately decayed into another isotope of phosphorus, plus another product. Write out these reactions, identifying the other product.
