Chapter 19, Problem 19.18P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation should be completed.

Concept Introduction:

To balance a nuclear equation, we have to balance the mass number, atomic number and charge on both sides of the reaction.
For this, we have to add the mass numbers of the reactants and equalise it with those of the sum of the mass numbers of the products. Similar treatment has to be done with atomic number and charge.
With the help of the sum of the atomic numbers of the reactants, the element produced can be predicted.
