<h3>
Answer:</h3>
Lead-205 (Pb-205)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
We are supposed to identify its product after an alpha decay;
- Polonium-209 has a mass number of 209 and an atomic number of 84.
- When an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass number decreases by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
- Therefore, when Po-209 undergoes alpha decay it results to the formation of a product with a mass number of 205 and atomic number of 82.
- The product from this decay is Pb-205, because Pb-205 has a mass number of 205 and atomic number 82.
- The equation for the decay is;
²⁰⁹₈₄Po → ²⁰⁵₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He
- Note; An alpha particle is represented by a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He.
This question can be easily confused with. During the early times, organic compound are directly associated with living beings, people, plants and animals. That is somewhat true. The definition of organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon. So, it is true that most of the compounds in our body are organic. But you may confuse it to the abundance of elements in the body, which is oxygen. However, the most abundant element, besides carbon, in organic compounds is Hydrogen. You will notice this obviously in the organic compounds like alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, carbohydrates, lipids, hormones and proteins. Their general chemical formula usually involves Carbon and Hydrogen.
