Writing Nuclear Equations – Use Table N! When elements undergo radioactive decay, they change from one element to another. This happens by losing high energy alpha or beta particles, or by emitting positrons. The process of an atom becoming a different atom is called transmutation. Nuclear equations are written to track the changes that occur during transmutation. When writing nuclear equations, it is important to make sure that mass and charge are conserved. Write the complete nuclear equation for the spontaneous decay of the following nuclides:
