Write the symbol for the nucleus that completes each nuclear equation.
huh. that's a little strange since a gamma ray is not an atom/particle, it's a form of energy generally the equation for a gamma ray decay equation is [atom] --> [atom] + gamma ray, something like |dw:1526916495084:dw| is the gamma symbol all you are given?
sorry lol I posted that iimage by mistake
first balance out the top # (mass #) and the atomic # (bottom number) for example: i 228 = 4 + ___ 90 = 2 + ___ then use the bottom # to determine the appropriate element
224 88
i would determine it by the atomic number right?
yup so what element is atomic # 88
radium
awesome so it's |dw:1526916789520:dw| I can't get the formatting to work with normal text
98 = 0 + _98_ 45= 1 + _44__
good and element 44 is ruthenium, symbol Ru
52 = 0 + _52_ 23= -1 + _22 Element with atomic number 22 is Sodium 52 22 Na
sodium is 11, #22 is Titanium (Ti)
