The following ${ }_{93}^{237} \mathrm{~Np}$ ? ${ }_{91}^{233} \mathrm{~Pa}$ can be balanced how?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is B) ${ }_{2}^{4} \mathrm{He}$, which represents an alpha particle. In nuclear reactions, the sum of mass numbers and the sum of atomic numbers must be equal on both sides of the equation. Here, ${ }_{93}^{237} \mathrm{Np}$ decays into ${ }_{91}^{233} \mathrm{Pa}$ and an alpha particle ${ }_{2}^{4} \mathrm{He}$, balancing both the atomic and mass numbers.
