To Whoever is answering this: If you are the person who keeps giving the wrong solutions to this problem, please don't answer this!!!

Part A is asking for a reaction equation, NOT INTENSITY

Part B is asking for a reaction equation, NOT RADIUS

Part C is asking for a decay equation, NOT AREA

Part D is asking for a decay equation, NOT AREA

8. In 1940, Edward McMillan and Philip Abelson, at the University of Cal- ifornia Berkeley, discovered the first transuranium element. (a) McMillan and Abelson first produced a beam of energetic neutrons by bombarding beryllium with deuterons from a cyclotron. Write the equation for the reaction, assuming that one neutron is produced per reaction. . (b) The neutrons from step (a) were directed onto a natural uranium tar- get, producing gamma rays and a short-lived radionuclide. Write the nu- clear reaction and identify the radionuclide. (c) The radionuclide produced in step (b) was found to decay by - emis- sion. Write the decay equation and identify the daughter nuclide (which was the first artificially produced transuranic element). (d) The nuclide produced in step (c) decays by - emission. Write the decay equation and identify the daughter nuclide (which was the second artificially produced transuranic element)
