When alpha decay takes place, two protons and two neutrons are forcefully ejected from the nucleus in a way that looks very similar to a Helium nucleus. This type of decay causes the atomic mass of the parent particle to drop by four (four particles lost), but the atomic number drops by only two (two protons lost). Therefore, your answer is C.

Help with calculating bond energies.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
<span>You must multiply the bond enthalpy by each broken or formed bond.
The C - H bond = 414k Joules/ mol, but that is only applicable per bond.
The C3H8 molecule has 8*C-H bonds that have to break. You have to account all the bonds that break and form to get the DH for the reaction.
Because of the Lewis structure of Propane C3h8 you only use 8 in </span><span>c3h8 has 3-C and 8-C.</span>
