the top "row" and the bottom row have to balance
so 85 = 0 + ___
35 = -1 + ___
fill in the two blanks, those become the mass number and atomic number of the missing element, then you'd use the bottom number to find what the element is
zarkam21:
85
36
Vocaloid:
good, so what element would correspond to 36?

zarkam21:
C
Vocaloid:
atomic # 36 is Krypton not Bromine
zarkam21:
35
zarkam21:
is the atomic numnerfo Bromine
Vocaloid:
after beta decay the identity of the element changes
the element that goes into the (?) place has an atomic # of 36 as determined by our previous calculations to balance the equation
so 36 gives us Krypton|dw:1526762585957:dw|

zarkam21:
so either a and b
zarkam21:
becuase it needsto equal
Vocaloid:
so according to our previous calculations, we determined that the number on top must be 85 and the number on the bottom is 36
looking at the ptable gives us atomic number 36 as krypton
85 Kr
36
answer choice D
zarkam21:
Right, ugh im sorry so overwhelmed i cant even think straight
