Nuclear reactions involve a change in the nucleus of an atom. For this reason, nuclear equations show the mass number and atomic number of each species. Nuclear equations must be balanced in both mass number (mass balance) and atomic number (charge balance). For example, consider the equation for the decay of carbon-14:

14 6C?14 7N+ 0?1e

Part A:

Write the identity of the missing particle for the following nuclear decay reaction:

60 27Co?60 28Ni+?

Express your answer as an isotope.

Part B:

Write the identity of the missing nucleus for the following nuclear decay reaction:

224 88Ra?4 2He+?

Express your answer as an isotope.

Part C:

Write the identity of the missing nucleus for the following nuclear decay reaction:

??8 4Be+0 1e

Express your answer as an isotope.

For each of the following unstable nuclides, predict the daughter nuclide by determining the most likely mode of decay. Express your answer as an isotope using a stacked super/subscript.

Ru-144

Pt-180

In-105

Zr-104

Re=165

Pa-221

Ar-44
