The nuclear equation shows that radon (Rn) is turning into polonium (Po) and an alpha particle (α). The equation is balanced because the total number of protons and neutrons before the reaction (86 and 219) is equal to the total number after the reaction (84 and 4 for alpha particle with 215 for polonium), so everything adds up correctly.
