Elements beyond iron are not formed by a-particle capture. It is believed they are formed by neutron capture. Once the nucleus gets enough neutrons, one neutron converts to an electron and a proton. Show how you can make zinc from copper by neutron capture.

The equation is

Explanation:

Neutron capture is a process where a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron. The released particle is known as beta particle and it carries a charge of -1 units and has a mass of 0 units. It is also known as an electron. The general equation for this process is:

The nuclear equation for the formation of zinc via neutron capture of copper follows:

1.43 x 10^-11 j the guy commented the awnser just making sure u see it .
