Question

What is the nuclear equation for decay of Am - 241

Answer 1

Americium is a radioactive element .

• It goes through alpha decay during nuclear reactions .

The nuclear reaction.is given by

`\rm {}^(241)_(95)Am\longrightarrow {}^(237)_(93)Np+{}^4_2\alpha`

• Np stands for Nuptunium

Here alpha can be written as He too
