Nuclear reactions shorthand notation

A shorthand notation has been developed for nuclear reactions such as the reaction discovered by Curie and Joliot. The parent (or target) nuclide and the daughter nuclide are separated by parentheses that contain the symbols for the particle that hits the target and the particle or particles released in this reaction. [Pg.101]

What are nuclear bombardment reactions Explain the shorthand notation used to describe bombardment reactions. [Pg.1036]

Write the shorthand notation for each of the following nuclear reactions. [Pg.1036]

Nuclear equation The shorthand notation that describes nuclear reactions. It shows changes in the participating nuclides atomic numbers (the number of protons) and mass numbers (the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons). [Pg.744]

In the shorthand notation for nuclear reactions, the first symbol inside the parentheses is the "bombarding"... [Pg.656]
