Answer: 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a right arrow Superscript 222 Subscript 86 Baseline Upper R n + Superscript 4 Subscript 2 Baseline Upper H e

Explanation:

Alpha decay : When a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. In this process, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

The general representation of alpha decay reaction is:

^{A}_{Z}\textrm{X}\rightarrow ^{A-4}_{Z-2}\textrm {Rn}+ ^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}

Representation of Radium decays to form Radon

^{226}_{88}\textrm{Ra}\rightarrow ^{222}_{86}\textrm {Rn}+ ^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}

Thus 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a right arrow Superscript 222 Subscript 86 Baseline Upper R n + Superscript 4 Subscript 2 Baseline Upper H e represents alpha decay.

The three beakers shown below contain solutions of [cof6]3–, [co(nh3)6]3+, and [co(cn)6]3–. based on the colors of the three sol
vitfil [10]
[Co(CN)₆]³⁻ → Yellow
[Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ → Orange
[CoF₆]³⁻ → Blue
Explanation:
- All the given compounds have octahedral geometry but the ligand in each are different with the same metal ion.

- Ligands strength order:     CN⁻ > NH₃ > F⁻ 

- The ligand CN will act as a strong field ligand so that the splitting is maximum when compared to NH₃ and F⁻

- If the splitting is more, the energy required for transition is more, and the wavelength is inversely proportional to energy.

- So CN complex will absorb at lower wavelength (yellow color)
