Answer to Question #205510 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Anne

Question

What daughter nucleus is formed when 234 93 Np undegoes electron capture?

Answer 1

Gives

Element ₉₃Np²³⁴

Process of electron capture

₉₃Np²³⁴+$e^{-}$ $\rightarrow$ ₉₂U²³⁴+$\nu$

Daughter nucleus urenium U (92,234)

Parent nucleus neptunium Np(93,234)
