Answer:
Explanation:
I just had this question on my test
Answer is Polonium-218 (84 protons).
alpha decay is an emission of ₂⁴He nucleus. If an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass of the daughter nucleus formed is reduced by 4 compared to mass of parent atom and atomic number is reduced by 2 compared to atomic number of parent atom.
Since the parent atom has 86 protons, atomic number is 86. Hence, the daughter atom should have 86 - 2 = 84 as atomic number. The parent atom has 222 as its mass. Hence, formed daughter atom should have 222 - 4 = 218 as its mass number.
The reaction for this decay is;
₈₆²²²Rn → ₈₄²¹⁸Po + ₂⁴∝
Answer:
The controlled variable of an experiment is the one thing that stays the same in an experiment.
Explanation:
An example would be : if I have two pennies, both dunked in water, but than I change one to be dunked in vinegar, the one dunked in water still is the constant or the controlled variable.
<h3>A single replacement reaction, sometimes called a single displacement reaction, is a reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound</h3>
