Question

Write the nuclear equation for the alpha decay of:

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Alpha decay occurs when a radioactive atm emits an alpha particle (Helium atom).

a)      ²⁵⁶Ra      ⇒      ²⁵²₈₄ Po  +   ⁴₂He

b)     ²¹⁹Rn       ⇒      ²¹⁵₈₂Pb    +   ⁴₂He

c)      ²¹¹Po      ⇒      ²⁰⁷₈₀Hg    +   ⁴₂Hg

d)      ²¹⁰Pb     ⇒     ²⁰⁶₇₈Pt      +   ⁴₂Hg

e)      ²³⁸U      ⇒     ²³⁴₈₈U       +   ⁴₂Hg
