Question
Use the equation to complete the activity
219/86 RN+Beta>219/85 As
The nuclear equation shows a form of radon into astatine and beta particle. In one to two sentences, explain whether or not the reaction is balanced.
Mass number is zero, t is a gamma
mass number is zero, it is a proton
mass number is zero, and it is a neutron
mass of beta is zero, and it is an electron

The reaction is not balanced as written because the mass number and atomic numbers on both sides do not match. In the equation provided, Radon (Rn) has a mass number of 219 and an atomic number of 86, while Astatine (As) has a mass number of 219 but a different atomic number (85), indicating a discrepancy that needs to be addressed.
For clarification on the beta particle: The mass of a beta particle is zero, and it is indeed an electron.
