### Counting Protons

Let's teach Calca about the elements and the common isotopes:

H = 1 proton
O = 8 proton + 8 neutron
Sn = 50 proton + 62 neutron

Now we can examine the reactants of the equation:

(Sn+2O) + 2(2H) == (Sn) + 2(2H+O) => true

(Sn+2O) + 2(2H) => 78 neutron + 70 proton

We see that it contains `70` protons. Now let's look at the products:

(Sn) + 2(2H+O) => 70 proton + 78 neutron

The reactants and the products are the same using the common isotopes.
