The nuclear equation \( \frac{219}{86} \text{Rn} \rightarrow \frac{215}{84} \text{Po} + \frac{4}{2} \text{He} \) is balanced. The total mass number on the left side (219) equals the total mass number on the right side (215 + 4 = 219), and the total atomic number on the left side (86) also equals the total atomic number on the right side (84 + 2 = 86).
Use the equation to complete the activity.
219/86 RN → 215/84 Po + 4/2 He
The nuclear equation shows the transmutation of a form of radon into polonium and an alpha particle. In one to two sentences, explain whether or not the reaction is balanced.
