The nuclear reaction occurring is known as alpha-decay, and during this process, an alpha particle is released from a heavy radioactive nucleus to form a lighter more stable nucleus. The alpha particle is equivalent to a helium nucleus, which means it contains 2 protons and two neutrons (net charge of +2)
The decay equation is:
Rn → Po + α
Explanation:
subscript is K
superscript is ^
subscript K means a unit of temperature like F or C
superscript ^ means to the power of
So all together it means to the power of 40 K
