C
The elements are Lithium and Beryllium— just look at the mass number on the periodic table
Depends on what the problems are, you are going to have to be a bit more specific, Young Padawan
Answer:
Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay
Explanation:
Step 1
This equation is a nuclear reaction. So it can be an alpha decay or a beta decay
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 that is showed.
A Beta decay occurs when, in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other.
Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay
