Well scientific laws are really laws! You can't change a scientific law and laws can be facts as well. Hope this helps!
Jot down the formula of the ionic compound. Let's say the ionic compound you're working with is NaCl.
Write the name of the metal.
Add the name of the non-metal with an –ide ending.
Combine the cation and anion names.
Practice naming more simple ionic compounds.
The daughter isotope : Radon-222 (Rn-222).
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Radium (Ra-226) undergoes an alpha decay
Required
The daughter nuclide
Solution
Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles ₀γ⁰
- positron particles ₁e⁰
- neutron ₀n¹
The decay reaction uses the principle: the sum of the atomic number and mass number before and after decay are the same
Radium (Ra-226) : ₈₈²²⁶Ra
Alpha particles : ₂⁴He
So Radon-226 emits alpha α particles ₂He⁴ , so the atomic number decreases by 2, mass number decreases by 4
The reaction :
₈₈²²⁶Ra ⇒ ₂⁴He + ₈₆²²²Rn
3K + AlCl3 --------> 3 KCl + Al
