Answer:

Option D. ²³⁹₉₃Np

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

²³⁹₉₂U —> ⁰₋₁e + __

Let ⁿₘX represent the unknown. Thus, the equation above becomes

²³⁹₉₂U —> ⁰₋₁e + ⁿₘX

Next, we shall determine n, m and X. This can be obtained as follow:

239 = 0 + n

239 = n

n = 239

92 = –1 + m

Collect like terms

92 + 1 = m

93 = m

m = 93

ⁿₘX => ²³⁹₉₃X => ²³⁹₉₃Np

Thus, the balanced equation becomes:

²³⁹₉₂U —> ⁰₋₁e + ⁿₘX

²³⁹₉₂U —> ⁰₋₁e + ²³⁹₉₃Np

Option D gives the correct answer to the question.
