Question
Lithium (Z = 3) has two stable isotopes $^6Li$ and $^7Li$. When neutrons are bombarded on lithium sample, electrons and $\alpha$-particles are ejected. Write down the nuclear process taking place.

Answer

$\text{ }^6_3\text{Li + n}\rightarrow\text{ }^7_3\text{Li};\text{ }^7_3\text{Li + r}\rightarrow\text{ }^8_3\text{Li}$$\text{ }^8_3\text{Li}\rightarrow\text{ }^8_4\text{Be + e}^-+\text{v}^-$
$\text{ }^8_4\text{Be}\rightarrow\text{ }^4_2\text{He}+\text{ }^4_2\text{He}$
