GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is:

A nuclear equation is balanced according to mass number. A chemical equation is balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

In nuclear reactions, the mass number (the sum of protons and neutrons) is conserved, while in chemical reactions, the total number of atoms of each element (which relates to mass due to the conservation of mass) is conserved.
