How do you do nuclear decay equations?

To write nuclear decay equations, you would typically start with the parent nucleus and identify the type of decay (alpha, beta, gamma). Then, you would balance the equation by conserving mass number and atomic number on both sides of the equation. Finally, you write the decay products. Remember to include the correct particles emitted during the decay process.


The mass number of a nucleus decreases during which nuclear reactions?

The mass number of a nucleus decreases during nuclear reactions involving alpha decay, beta decay, and neutron emission. In these reactions, the nucleus loses mass as particles are emitted, resulting in a decrease in the mass number.
