    Balancing Nuclear Equations

    When balancing nuclear equations, the sums of the atomic and mass numbers must be
    the same on both sides of the equation. In some cases one of the symbols in the list below will
    be used to complete the equation. If a new element is formed, you may need to refer to a
    periodic table to determine the symbol that accompanies an atomic number. The first two
    equations have been balanced for you.
