What does the 218 in -218 polonium represent?
218Po (or polonium 218) is an isotope of polonium; 218 is the mass number of this isotope. The exact mass is: 218,0089730(26); the half life of this isotope is 3,10(1) minutes.
Which path would decay polonium 218 to bismuth 214?
Polonium-218 decay to lead-214.
What pathway would decay polonium-218 to bismuth-214?
Polonium-218-------------alpha---------------Lead-214
What element does an atom of polonium change into after it emits an alpha particle?
Polonium 210-----------alpha particles-----------Lead 206 Polonium 209-----------alpha particles-----------Lead 205 Polonium 208-----------alpha particles-----------Lead 204 Polonium 214-----------alpha particles-----------Lead 210 Polonium 218-----------alpha particles-----------Lead 214 (99,98 %) Polonium 218-----------beta particles------------Astatin 218 (o,o2 %) For other isotopes see the list at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polonium#Isotopes
What happens to polonium when beta particles are emitted?
The beta minus decay of polonium isotopes is extremely rare. Beta decay involve the increase of the atomic number with 1.Example: Po-218----------------beta minus---------------At-218
