Question

How do I do the nuclear equations on 19.7? looking for X.

Prob 19.1 19.6 Which of the following nuclear decays produces a daughter nucleus with a higher atomic number: (a), (b) +iB (c)-1B, (d) a? The table here is a summary of different modes of nuclear decay. Fill in the changes in atomic number (Z), number of neutrons (N), and mass number (A) in each case. Use "+" sign for increase, "-" sign for decrease, and "O" for no change.
