Nuclear equation:
A nuclear reaction is said to be balanced nuclear equation when the sums of the superscript and the sums of the subscripts must be equal on each equation.
Reactant mass number = product mass number
Reactant
In a nuclear equation we must explicit the proton, neutron, electrons that are producing the course of the fission reaction or fusion reaction.
Special symbol is used for the alpha and beta particle and for proton and neutrons.
To Write: The nuclear equation for the decay of isotope of radium to radon-219 by alpha emission
