Answer:
²⁵⁰₉₆Cm → ²⁴⁶₉₆Cm + 4 ¹₀n
Explanation:
The complete equation is;
²⁵⁰₉₆Cm → ²⁴⁶₉₆Cm + 4 ¹₀n
- The above equation is an example of a nuclear reaction in which unstable atom of Cm emits neutrons to become more stable.
- Radioactive isotopes undergo radioactivity or decay to attain stability, they do so by emitting particles such as alpha, beta particles or a neutron.
- An atom of Cm-250 undergoes decay and emits four neutrons to form an atom of Cm-246.
