Is the following nuclear equation balanced?<br> 237 Np - He+233 AM
Flura [38]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Np²³⁷   →  He⁴ + Am²³³

The given nuclear equation is balanced. Np²³⁷ undergoes alpha decay and produce alpha particle and Am²³³.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy
