(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced nuclear reaction for the given nuclear reaction is to be determined.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
In the given nuclear reaction shown below, the mass number is not balanced because the total mass number on the left side is not equal to the total mass number on the right side.
To balance the given reaction, nitrogen isotope
(b)
Interpretation:

(b)
Explanation of Solution
In the given nuclear reaction shown below, the
To balance the given reaction,
(c)
Interpretation:
From the given nuclear reaction, the correct balanced nuclear reaction is to be identified.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is as shown below:
To determine whether the mass number is conserved, the sum of mass numbers of the reactants must be equal to the sum of mass numbers of the products in accordance with the law of conservation of mass.
The values for mass number of helium
Similarly, to determine whether the atomic number is conserved, the sum of atomic numbers of the reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic numbers of the products.
The values for atomic number of helium
Therefore, the given nuclear reaction shown below is balanced because the total atomic number and the mass number on the left side is equal to the total atomic number and mass number on the right side.
(d)
Interpretation:
The balanced nuclear reaction for the given nuclear reaction is to be determined.
(d)
Explanation of Solution
In the given nuclear reaction shown below, atomic number is not balanced because the total atomic number on the left side is not equal to the total atomic number on the right side.
To balance the given reaction,
(e)
