Lithium (Z = 3) has two stable isotopes 6 Li and 7 Li. When neutrons are bombarded on lithium sample, electrons and α-particles are ejected. Write down the nuclear processes taking place.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Considering the data given in the question only 2 isotopes are stable

So ejects and electron to convert to more stable Be and which in turn ejects two α particles

Lithium (Z = 3) has two stable isotopes 6Li and 7Li. When neutrons are bombarded on lithium sample, electrons and α-particles are ejected. Write down the nuclear processes taking place.
