Answer:

ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po

Explanation:

Let ⁿₐX be the isotope.

Thus, the equation can be written as follow:

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX

Next, we shall determine the value of 'n' and 'a'. This can be obtained as follow:

222 = 4 + n

Collect like terms

222 – 4 = n

218 = n

Thus,

n = 218

86 = 2 + a

Collect like terms

86 – 2 = a

84 = a

Thus,

a = 84

ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ²¹⁸₈₄Po

13. Which statement best describes an element? *
Natasha2012 [34]

Explanation:

Distinguish chemical substances from mixtures

Key Points

Matter can be broken down into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixtures are physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components.

A chemical substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule.

A mixture is composed of different types of atoms or molecules that are not chemically bonded.

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of two or more chemical substances where the various components can be visually distinguished.

A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition is uniform and every part of the solution has the same properties.

Various separation techniques exist in order to separate matter, including include distillation, filtration, evaporation and chromatography. Matter can be in the same phase or in two different phases for this separation to take place.

Terms

substanceA form of matter that has constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. It is composed of one type of atom or molecule.

elementA chemical substance that is made up of a particular kind of atom and cannot be broken down or transformed by a chemical reaction.

mixtureSomething that consists of diverse, non-bonded elements or molecules.
