What are the missing pieces of the nuclear equation above? you will need to determine themissing parts for this transmutation. you will need to determine what numbers should besubstituted for a and z, and you will need to determine what should be substituted for x.

The missing pieces of the nuclear equation are:

Explanation:

1) Given nuclear reaction:

2) A: mass number:

Balance the mass numbers of both sides of the nuclear reaction.

The mass number is the superscript to the left of the chemical symbol:

3) Z: atomic number

Balance the atomic numbers of both sides of the nuclear reaction

The atomic number is the subscript to the left of the chemical symbol:

4) Identity of the element.

The atomic number, which is the number of protons, identifies the unknown element: X.

You can find this information in a periodic table.

The element with atomic number 3 is lithium, and its chemical symbol is Li, hence X = Li.

i don't see a text, but i am gonna assume this *orbit* the curved path, usually elliptical, described by a planet, satellite, spaceship, etc., around a celestial body, as the sun.
