Question

What is the missing symbol in the following nuclear equation? ²⁷₁₃Al + ²₁H→^?_?? + ⁴₂ a

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In nuclear equations, the sum of the mass numbers and atomic numbers on both sides of the equation should be equal. On the left side: Mass number = 127 + 11 + 12 = 150 Atomic number = 53 + 2 + 1 = 56 On the right side: Mass number = x + 24 + 12 = x + 36 Atomic number = y + 2 + 1 = y + 3 We need to choose the option with a mass number of 150 and an atomic number of 56. The only option that satisfies this condition is B: "²⁵₁₂Mg". Therefore, the missing symbols are "U1B11" on the left side and "U1B1" on the right side.
