Answer

Missing atom: $^{209}_{83}Bi$ Complete reaction: $^{209}_{83}Bi + ^{64}_{28}Ni -- \gt ^{272}_{111}Rg + ^1_0n $

Work Step by Step

1. Find the mass number of the missing element. The total mass number of the left side must be equal to that of the right side. $? + 64 = 272 + 1$ $? + 64 = 273$ $? = 273 - 64$ $?= 209$ 2. Find the atomic number of the missing element. The tota l atomic number of the left side must be equal to that of the right side. $? + 28 = 111 + 0$ $? = 111 - 28$ $? = 83$ 3. Identify the symbol of the element with atomic number equal to 83: It is "Bi". 4. Now, write the complete symbol, and substitute it on the reaction. $^{209}_{83}Bi$ $^{209}_{83}Bi + ^{64}_{28}Ni -- \gt ^{272}_{111}Rg + ^1_0n $
