Position of element in periodic table is depend on the electronic configuration of element.

Element with 62 electrons has following electronic configuration:
<span>1s2 2s2 </span>2p6 <span>3s2 </span>3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 <span>5s2 </span>4d10 5p6 4f6 <span>6s<span>2
</span></span>
From above electronic configuration, it can be seen that highest value of principal quantum number, where electron is present, is 6. Hence, element belongs to 6th period.

Further, last electron has entered f-orbital, hence it is a f-block element. Position of f-block element is the bottom of periodic table.

Further, there are 6 electrons in f-orbital. Hence, it is the 6th f-block element in 6th period of periodic table.

Two protons and two neutrons are released as a result of this reaction.
Murljashka [212]

<u>Answer:</u> The particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

^{222}_{86}\textrm{Rn}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{X}+^{218}_{84}\textrm{Po}

  • <u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

222 = A + 218

A = 4

  • <u>To calculate Z:</u>

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

86 = Z + 84

Z = 2

The isotopic symbol of unknown element is _{2}^{4}\textrm{He}. Another name of helium atom is alpha particle.

Hence, the particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle
