Interpretation:
A balance nuclear equation for given processes has to be written.
Concept introduction:
Balancing
The key to balancing nuclear equations is to make sure that the number of nucleons is the
same on both sides of the equation and that the number of nuclear charges plus electron or positron charges is the same.
