Question in pic! Thank u so much in advance for responding

Answer 1

If Cf collides with an alpha particle, this particle will be in the reactants side on the equation.

So reactants side:

`^(242)_(98)Cf+^4_{2^{}}\alpha^{}`

It will produce 242+4-1 = 245

And 98 + 2 = 100

So products side will be:

`^{245_{}}_(100)Fm+^1_0\text{n}`

Answer:

`^(245)_(100)Fm`
