A simple organized approach for balancing nuclear equation

Abstract This paper reports on the development of a simple organized approach for balancing a given nuclear equation in which all the reactants and products appear explicitly. A novel general algorithm for finding the balanced form of a nuclear equation has been offered for the said purpose. It has...

description Abstract This paper reports on the development of a simple organized approach for balancing a given nuclear equation in which all the reactants and products appear explicitly. A novel general algorithm for finding the balanced form of a nuclear equation has been offered for the said purpose. It has been found that, in addition to having the physically admissible balanced form of a nuclear equation, the present scheme gives birth to a lot of other independent balanced forms of the same nuclear equation, each of which, though theoretically possible, corresponds to unphysical equations. In addition to having novelty, the present scheme is expected to have educational value and it might be of didactic interest to physics students.
