The elements in the substance are mixtures of their isotopes.

The average atomic mass includes all of the isotopes of that atom which exist in nature. Almost all elements have at least two isotopes which naturally occur. 
Recall that isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number (protons), but a different number of neutrons. Since neutrons contribute the same amount of mass as a proton (1 amu), differing numbers of neutrons will change the mass of the atoms.

Answer No 1:

The chemical model that is flawed is:

4 C2 + S8 → 4 CS2

In this reaction, there are more number of carbon atoms in the reactants but lesser number of cabon atoms in the products. For a reaction to be balanced, there should be the same number  of atoms in the reactants and products. Hence, option A does not represent a balanced equation.

<em>Answer No 2:</em>

The correct option is B) The model shows an unbalanced number of carbon atoms.

Consider the equation:

4 C2 + S8 → 4 CS2

In the reactants side of the equation, there are 8 atoms of carbon. In the products side there are only four carbon atoms. This shows that this equation in not balanced because of the carbon atoms.

The number of sulfur atoms remains same before the reaction and after the reaction. There are eight sulfur atoms in the reactants as well as products.

The daughter isotope  : Radon-222 (Rn-222).

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Radium (Ra-226) undergoes an  alpha decay

Required

The daughter nuclide

Solution

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,  

  • alpha α particles ₂He⁴
  • beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
  • gamma particles ₀γ⁰
  • positron particles ₁e⁰
  • neutron ₀n¹

The decay reaction uses the principle: the sum of the atomic number and mass number before and after decay are the same

Radium (Ra-226) : ₈₈²²⁶Ra

Alpha particles : ₂⁴He

So Radon-226 emits alpha α particles ₂He⁴  , so the atomic number decreases by 2, mass number decreases by 4

The reaction :

₈₈²²⁶Ra ⇒ ₂⁴He + ₈₆²²²Rn
