Chemistry
1 answer:
DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

76

Explanation:

Alpha decay is one of the most basic forms of radioactive decay. It has an atomic mass of 4 and a proton number of two.

Undergoing an alpha decay will decrease the atomic mass by four and the atomic number by two.

In this particular question, we are particular about the atomic number. The atom has an atomic number of 78. So taking 2 off this gives 76

coldgirl [10]

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom.

The term isotope is formed from the Greek roots isos ("equal") and topos ("place"), meaning "the same place".
