Complete this equation that represents the process of nuclear fusion.

Superscript 226 Subscript 88 Baseline R a yields Superscript A Subscript B Baseline R n + Superscript 4 Subscript 2 Baseline H e

A:

B:

Answer 1

A = 222
B = 86

Full equation: ^226_88Ra → ^222_86Rn + ^4_2He

(Note: this is an alpha decay process, not fusion.)
