Complete and balance the following nuclear equations. (b)

Video transcript

Hey, everyone were asked to complete the nuclear equation below first. Let's go ahead and calculate our mass number. We can do this by taking our 2 20 from Reagan and subtracting our four from helium. This will get us to an atomic mass of 2 16. Now let's go ahead and calculate our atomic number, Taking our 86 from Reagan And subtracting R two from R helium. This will get us to a value of 84. And if we look at our periodic table, we find that polonium has an atomic number of And in this case its atomic mass is going to be 216. And this completes our nuclear equation. So I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
