Nuclear processes


Considering the following two nuclear processes which produce isotopes useful for medical imaging.

i)                    Isotope A +1 p           ----    15 O + 1 n

18 0

ii)                   Isotope B + 1 n          ----     Isotope C       ----       99 Mo + 133Sn + 4  1 n

042 50               0

Find the mass number and the atomic number for the unknown isotopes A B and C and identify them. Explain how you arrived at your answer.
