How to write a balanced nuclear equation on how uranium can disintegrate to Actium​

Balancing Nuclear Equations

To balance a nuclear equation, the mass number and atomic numbers of all particles on either side of the arrow must be equal.

Explanation:

follows:

6

3

Li

+

2

1

H

→

4

2

He

+

?

To balance the equation above for mass, charge, and mass number, the second nucleus on the right side must have atomic number 2 and mass number 4; it is therefore also helium-4. The complete equation therefore reads:

6

3

Li

+

2

1

H

→

4

2

He

+

4

2

He

Or, more simply:

6

3

Li

+

2

1

H

→

2

4

2

He

Lithium-6 plus deuterium gives two helium-4s.: The visual representation of the equation we used as an example.

Compact

it is stable as it is in group 0 which have full outer shells of electrons
