Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: The child isotope has an atomic mass of 206.

Explanation:

Alpha decay : When a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. In this process, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

General representation of an element is given as:   _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z represents Atomic number

A represents Mass number

X represents the symbol of an element

General representation of alpha decay :

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\alpha

_{84}^{210}\textrm{Po}\rightarrow_{82}^{206}\textrm{Pb}+_2^4\textrm{He}

Zolol [24]

Answer:

a.Carbon :proton number =6

             electron number =6

b. Fluorine: proton number=9

                  electron number =9

c. tin:  proton number=50

           electron number =50

d. nickel:proton number=28

           electron number =28

Explanation:

In the neutral state of an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons and that whats makes it electrically neutral as the positive charges of protons balances the negative charges of electrons.
