Accepted Answer

Here are the completed nuclear reactions:
1. ²⁴⁴₉₄Pu + ⁴₂He -----→ ²⁴⁸₉⁶Cm
2. ²⁰⁹₈₄Po -----→ ¹₁H + ²⁰⁸₈₃Bi
3. ¹⁵⁰₆₂Sm + ¹₀n -----→ ⁴₂He + ¹⁴⁷₆₀Nd
4. ²⁴⁷₉₇Bk + ⁰₋₁e -----→ ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm
Explanation:

Nuclear reactions involve changes in the nucleus of an atom.
Balancing nuclear equations requires that the total mass number (sum of protons and neutrons) and atomic number (number of protons) are equal on both sides of the equation.
Periodic Table: The periodic table is used to identify the elements and their atomic numbers.
