Chapter 21, Problem 27E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The statement that best explains that ‘why nuclear transmutations involving neutrons are generally easier to accomplish than those involving protons or alpha particles’ is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Protons are positively charged species and neutrons are neutral species.

Alpha particle have positive charge therefore protons suffer repulsion from the nucleus of alpha particle due to their charge.

To determine: The statement that best explains why nuclear transmutations involving neutrons are generally easier to accomplish than those involving protons or alpha particles.
