How do you write a balanced nuclear equation for the formation of polonium-206 through alpha decay?

If radon-210 undergoes alpha decay, it will produce the alpha particle (which is a helium-4 nucleus) and polonium-206. The equation looks like this: 86210Ra => 24He + 84206Po You'll note that in the balanced nuclear equation, the atomic numbers, which are the subscripts, balance on both sides of the equation (86 = 2 + 84). The atomic masses, which are the superscripts, also balance on both sides of the equation (210 = 4 + 206).

∙ 13y agoThe equation for the alpha decay of 210Po is:84210Po --> 82206Pb + 24He
where He represents the alpha particle, which can also be viewed as a Helium nucleus.

What two items must be equal for a nuclear equation to be balanced?
In a balanced nuclear equation, the sum of the mass numbers on the right must equal the sum on the left

How do you write a balanced nuclear equation for gold-191 undergoes electron capture?
Nuclear notations are used to represent the decay of one element into another. The generic formula for a radioactive element is X-M = X-(M-4) + He-4 where X is the symbol for the element, M represents the mass number for the element. An equation for gold-191 may be Au-191 = Au-187 + He-4.

When balancing a nuclear equation what two quantities are conserved when balancing a nuclear equation?
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
Is the following nuclear reaction balanced?
A nuclear equation is balanced when the sum of atomic numbers and mass numbers on each side of the equation is the same.

How do you write a balanced nuclear equation to describe the beta decay of Sulfur?
For nuclear decay, you must also specify what isotope you are talking about. Just saying "Sulfur" simply isn't enough information.
What is the equation that calculates in nuclear reactions?
What is the equation that calculates in nuclear reaction?
What law of chemical change is obeyed when a chemical equation is balanced and explain?
conservation of mass law, no matter is ever created or destroyed (except for nuclear fusion)
How does a balanced chemical equation relate to the law of conservation of mass?
The law of conservation of mass states that in any chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed. Therefore, in a balanced chemical equation you must have the same number of atoms of each element 1) on either side of the equation.1) ImprovementAlso the conservation of 'Elements' comes into my mind: it is necessarily for a well balanced equation. If we sort out 'Nuclear Reactions' then this is a true case!
