In the case of Rn-222, which is the "isotope of concern" because it occurs naturally, it decays as follows: 222Rn => 218Po + He+2 In this equation, we see the radon isotope Rn-222 emit an alpha particle (the helium nucleus) and undergo a transformation to become the polonium isotope, Po-218.

What is the balanced nuclear equation for the reaction in which zirconium-97 undergoes beta decay?
The equation for the beta decay of 137Cs:55137Cs --> 56137Ba + -10e where the e is a negative beta particle or electron.
Are radioactive reactions redox reaction?
Radioactive reaction is a red-ox reaction. This is a nuclear decay.
How is tooth decay a chemical reaction?
it is a chemical reaction due to the fluoride in the teeth.
What is the process of decay with carbon 13?
The process of decay with carbon 13 can be described by a nuclear reaction.
What kind of decay is it when a nuclear reaction in which a neutron is transformed into a proton and in electron?
When a neutron -> proton, it is called a Beta - (minus) decay.
What is the balanced nuclear equation for the reaction in which zirconium-97 undergoes beta decay?
The equation for the beta decay of 137Cs:55137Cs --> 56137Ba + -10e where the e is a negative beta particle or electron.
What is the balanced equation for the alpha decay of radium 228?
224
Are radioactive reactions redox reaction?
Radioactive reaction is a red-ox reaction. This is a nuclear decay.
Is Radioactive decay a nuclear reaction?
yes
Is conversion by radioactive decay a chemical reaction?
No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.
How is tooth decay a chemical reaction?
it is a chemical reaction due to the fluoride in the teeth.
Why radioactive decay is always first order reaction?
This is because only one isotope decay.
What is the process of decay with carbon 13?
The process of decay with carbon 13 can be described by a nuclear reaction.
The opposite reaction to fusion is called?
Beta decay
Is nuclear energy a fission or fusion reaction?
Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay
How nuclear decay rates different from chemical reaction rates?
nuclear decay rates take more time and chemical reaction rates could happen fast.
How do you figure out age using radiometric dating?
The method compares the amount of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, in samples. The method uses known decay rates.
