Answer:

The correct answer is : No, because there are 4 hydrogen atoms on the reactants side and 2 on the products side.

Explanation:

$NH_4NO_3\rightarrow N_2O+H_2O$

The given reaction equation is not balanced because:

Number of hydrogen atoms on both sides are not equal that is 4 on reactants side and 2 on products side.
Number of oxygen atoms on both sides are not equal that is 3 on reactants side and 2 on products side.

In a balanced chemical equation number of atoms of each elements are equal on both sides.

So, the balanced chemical equation will be:

$NH_4NO_3\rightarrow N_2O+2H_2O$
