Consider the nuclear equation. 1122Na→1022Ne+?0β Which is the missing value that will balance the equation?

Balance the atomic numbers: sodium has 11, and neon has 10, so the missing value must satisfy 11 = 10 + ?. Thus ? = +1. The mass numbers also balance because 22 = 22 + 0, so the missing value is plus 1.
