Answer:
The correct answer is Pu, 234.
Explanation:
In the given case, let us consider the reactant as X. Now the mass number (balanced) on both the sides will be,
Mass of X = Mass of Molybdenum + Mass of Tin + Mass of neutrons
M = 1 * 103 + 1 * 131 + 2 * 0
M = 234
Now the atomic number (balanced) on both the sides,
Atomic number of X = Atomic number of Molybdenum + Atomic number of Tin + Atomic number of neutrons
A = 1*42 + 1*50 + 2*1
A = 94
The atomic number 94 is for the element Plutonium, whose symbol is Pu. Thus, the reactant is 234-Pu.
