9. Consider the nuclear reaction from Model 1: 238U - 234 T 90Th + He a. How does the number of protons in the reactant (on the left side of the arrow) compare with the total number of protons in the products (to the right of the arrow)? b. How does the mass number of the reactant compare with the total of the mass numbers of the products? C. How does the number of neutrons in the reactant compare with the total number of neutrons in the products? d. Based on Table 1, what type of radiation is produced in this reaction? Information: In nuclear reactions, both the total number of protons and the total number of neutrons remain unchanged. Another way of saying this is that the sum of the atomic numbers (and mass numbers) in the reactants must equal the sum of the atomic numbers (and mass numbers) in the products. You verified this in CTQ 9. Critical Thinking Question: 10. Suppose that a gamma ray were also released in the reaction in CTQ 9. Discuss with your team how each side of the reaction equation would change. When you agree, write your team explanation in a complete sentence or two
