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

Give the clarification of heat and temperature on the basis of molecular motion?
sdas [7]

Explanation:

Heat is a form of thermal energy.

Heat is the sum of all the energy of the molecular motion in an object.

Temperature measures the average heat possessed by each molecule in a given substance.

 Molecules at a higher temperature possess more kinetic energy and they will move faster. This kinetic energy form is the heat variant of thermal energy.

Temperature is the measure of this heat energy of molecules.
