In an alpha decay, the original nucleus decays into a daughter nucleus + an alpha particle, which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
The atomic number (number of protons) of the Francium is 87, and since in the decay it loses 2 protons, the atomic number of the daughter nucleus should be 85. Looking at the periodic table ,this corresponds to Astatine, and therefore this is the element produced in the alpha decay of Francium-221.
Moreover, the mass number (number of protons+neutrons) decreases by 4 (because an alpha particle carries 2 protons+2 neutrons), therefore in the reaction the mass number will decrease from 221 to 217. 
So, the daughter element is astatine-217.

Give examples of the one element from the alkaline earth metal group and one from the noble gases group. Include each element at
zhuklara [117]
Alkali metals: left column of your periodic table (not hydrogen, but anything below it). They have one valence electron, which they are happy to share in a reaction.

Halogens: second column from the right of your periodic table. They are one electron short of a full shell, so they are reactive in the opposite way that alkalis are--they want electrons.

Atomic number (number of protons) is the big number on the periodic table square. Hydrogen's is 1.

Atomic mass is a little number down below. For example, Hydrogen's is 1.008.

Neutrons are a tricky subject, because different isotopes of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons. You can't generally get this from the atomic mass, because the atomic mass is a weighted average of naturally occurring isotopes. Hydrogen can have 0,1, or 2 neutrons. To answer this, you'd have to choose a particular isotope from the table of isotopes (a completely different chart from the periodic table) which has a certain number of neutrons: n = weight - Z.

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. (The column of the table).

to move a resting box of 100 Newton on the ground with kinetic friction coeficient of 0,250 is applied a force of 60 N horizonta
krok68 [10]
Work is calculated by multiplying force by the distance that the object had moved. The applied force is 60 N, moving the object by 10 m. Thus, the work does is 600 J. For the friction force which is equal to,
                          100N x 0.250 = 25.0 N
the work done is,
                        W = (60 N - 25 N) x 10 m = 350 J
The kinetic energy of the box can be equated to this force. Thus, the answer is also 350 J.
