Answer

Missing atom: $^{76}_{35}Br$ Complete equation: $^0_{-1}e + ^{76}_{36}Kr -- \gt ^{76}_{35}Br$

Work Step by Step

1. Calculate the mass number of the missing atom. - The sum of the mass numbers on the right side must be equal to that on the left side. $0 + 76 = ?$ $76 = ?$ 2. Calculate the atomic number of the missing atom. - The sum of the atomic numbers on the right side must be equal to that on the left side. $-1 + 36 = ?$ $36 - 1 = ?$ $35 = ?$ 3. Identify the symbol of the element with atomic number equal to 35 (Use a periodic table): - It is "Br". 4. Write the symbol with the atomic and mass numbers, and write the complete nuclear equation: $^{76}_{35}Br$ $^0_{-1}e + ^{76}_{36}Kr -- \gt ^{76}_{35}Br$
