The decay of radium-226 produces an isotope

Chemistry
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

 ²²⁶₈₈Ra → ²²²₈₆Rn + ⁴₂He  +⁰₀γ

Explanation:

This radioactive decay occurs when the unstable radium-226 atom wants to lose energy by emitting an alpha particle from its nucleus which is an helium nucleus with no electron. The radium (86) is transformed to radon(Rn) where the atomic number of radium (88) is reduced by two units into radon, Rn (86) and mass number reduced by 4 units.

The equation for the transformation is;

 ²²⁶₈₈Ra → ²²²₈₆Rn + ⁴₂He  +⁰₀γ  where

²²⁶₈₈Ra ---------radium-226

²²²₈₆Rn -------radon-222

⁴₂He ----------alpha particle

⁰₀γ ------------energy

Note that ⁴₂He can also be written as : ⁴₂∝

Answer:

when it reduces heat.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is transferred to material,the motion of its particles speeds up and it's temperature differences.Insulating materials are bad conductors and so this reduces the heat loss by conduction.The material also prevents air circulating inside the cavity,therefore reducing heat loss by convection.Heat loss through the roof can be reduced by laying loft insulation.
