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
Distillation of a mixture
The average atomic mass of the imaginary element : 47.255 amu
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
The elements in nature have several types of isotopes
Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)
Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes
Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% ..
isotope E-47 47.011 amu, 87.34%
isotope E-48 48.008 amu, 6.895
isotope E-49 50.009 amu, 5.77%
The average atomic mass :
In this case a double displacement reaction will take place.
