Question 25

Rules when writing and balancing nuclear equations

Answer 25

1. Mass number of elements are placed on element’s superscript and atomic number is placed at subscript
2. Like chemical equations, the colliding particles are separated by a plus sign and products are separated by a single headed arrow.
3. The sum of the mass number of the reactants equate the mass number of the products
4. The sum of the atomic numbers of the reactants equals the mass numbers of the products
5. When abbreviating nuclear reactions, the following format is followed:
   Target Species (Bombarding Particle, Emitted Particle) Residual Nucleus
