Consider the nuclear equation below. what is x? 235/96 cm 243/92 u 235/92 u 243/96 cm

To balance the nuclear reaction following rules are following:

1.The sum of the subscript means the atomic numbers must be equal on the both side of the equation.

2.The sum of the superscript means the mass numbers must be equal on the both side of the equation.

  94  Pu 239  > x+  2He4

The mass number:

239 = A+4

A= 235  

The atomic number:

94 = Z+2

Z= 92  

Thus the balanced nuclear reaction is as follows:

94  Pu 239  > 92U235+  2He4
