The correct statement 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 equations, both the mass number and atomic number must be conserved. In chemical equations, the law of conservation of mass states that the total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products, but this is not specifically done by balancing mass numbers of individual elements.
