Answer:

<span><span>22688</span>Ra→<span>l<span>22286</span></span>Rn+<span>l<span>42</span></span>He</span>

Explanation:

An α-particle is a helium nucleus. It contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons, for a mass number of 4.

During α-decay, an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle. It transforms (or decays) into an atom with an atomic number 2 less and a mass number 4 less.

Thus, radium-226 decays through α-particle emission to form radon-222 according to the equation:

<span><span>22688</span>Ra→<span>l<span>22286</span></span>Rn+<span>l<span>42</span></span>He</span>

Note that the sum of the subscripts (atomic numbers or charges) is the same on each side of the equation.

Also, the sum of the superscripts (masses) is the same on each side of the equation.

Now try figuring out Am-241

Which of the following groups would be found on an alcohol molecule?
photoshop1234 [79]

<span>I’ve answered this question before so if these are the choices to the question presented:

An oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbon atom, with a hydrogen atom single-bonded to the same carbon atom. </span><span>

<span>A hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an oxygen atom, which is covalently bonded to a carbon in the carbon chain. </span>

<span>A carbon atom single-bonded between two other carbon atoms, with an oxygen atom double-bonded to the central carbon atom as well. </span>

<span>An oxygen atom single-bonded between two carbon atoms within a carbon chain. 


Then, the answer would be “a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an oxygen atom, which is covalently bonded to a carbon in the carbon chain.<span>”</span></span></span>
