The nuclear equation should be balanced just like the chemical equations.
In a balanced nuclear equation, the sum of the
The atom undergoing nuclear disintegration is called parent nuclide and the products obtained are called daughter nuclide.
The bombardment of a neutron on the nucleus increases the mass number by unit one.
The identity and symbol of the daughter nuclide formed by an alpha decay can be deduced from the
The symbols of the neutron, an alpha particle, and beta particle are
