Answer:

ā‚…ā‚ƒIĀ¹Ā²Ā³ + ā‚‹ā‚eā° => ā‚…ā‚‚TeĀ¹Ā²Ā³

Explanation:

Nuclear decay equations require that the mass and charge are conserved. That is, by mass I-123 + eā» => Te-123 Ā & by charge ā‚…ā‚ƒI + ā‚‹ā‚e => ā‚…ā‚‚Te. Together, the nuclear decay equation becomes ā‚…ā‚ƒIĀ¹Ā²Ā³ + ā‚‹ā‚eā° => ā‚…ā‚‚TeĀ¹Ā²Ā³.
