hi, the law of conservation of matter basically says that matter can't be destroyed or created. in nuclear equations, this is why the mass number and atomic number of the parent isotope always equal the mass number and atomic number of the products. hope this helps

The quantities that are conserved when one is balancing a nuclear reaction is the mass number. The mass number must be the same after balancing as it was when you started.

What are the two quantities are always conserved in nuclear decay equation?

Energy and electrical charge are two quantities that are always conserved in nuclear decay equation.


What quantities are conserved when balancing a nuclear reaction?

In order for a nuclear reaction to be balanced, there are quantities that must be conserved. The quantities are the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the particles involved in the reaction.


In a nuclear reaction WHAT does not have to be conserved?

While overall ENERGY has to be conserved, MASS does not. In a nuclear reaction mass can be converted into energy so the mass of the products may be less than the mass of the reactants. The difference in mass is converted into energy as Einstein's equation describes (E=MC squared). In a chemical reaction MASS has to be conserved.


Is energy conserved in a nuclear reaction?

Yes. Basically, energy is ALWAYS conserved. The popular saying, that in a nuclear reaction mass is converted to energy, is plainly wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved. Read about "mass deficit", for example in the Wikipedia, for more details.


When metamorphic rock melts and turns into lava is matter conserved?

Yes, this is a simple physical change and matter is always conserved in these. In fact, matter is always conserved except in nuclear reactions where the sum of matter and energy is conserved.

How can energy be conserved from a nuclear weapon?

A tiny bit of the mass of each fissioned (or fused) atom is converted to energy. Energy is not conserver... Mass-Energy is conserved.


Can you convert matter into energry?

Sort of. That's a common explanation for what happens in a nuclear reaction. But technically, both matter and energy are conserved - there is no more or less matter after the reaction, than before the reaction. Therefore, in such cases there is no matter-to-energy conversion. Read the Wikipedia article on "Mass deficit" or "Binding energy" for a more detailed explanation. There's no sort of about it. The meaning of Einstein's equation (E = mc2) is that matter and energy are interconvertible, and this happens all the time. What is conserved is mass-energy. Mass and energy are not conserved separately.


Why did the Soviet install offensive nuclear weapons in Cuba?

Because the US already had offensive nuclear weapons in Turkey. They saw it as "balancing" things.
