Alpha decay represents the forceful ejection of two protons and two neutrons from the nucleus of the parent atom. If 214 Po undergoes alpha decay, the equation would be:
214 Po ➡️ 210 Pb + 4 He + energy
Alpha decay is in the form of a helium nucleus, two protons and two neutrons.
True!
For example:
The atomic mass of carbon is 12.011 (i think) and the weight of carbon is 12. But with C13 and C14 being a little higher, it makes the average higher. Random fact: C14 is used for carbon dating.
Answer:
protons and neutrons
Explanation:
The nucleus of the atom contains protons and neutrons. The electrons of the atom orbit the nucleus.
