There are several isotopes of nobelium, and of those, several decay by alpha decay. I picked the one with the longest known half-life, nobelium-259, at 58 minutes. I did not consider nobelium-261, or -263, which are expected to be longer, because they have yet to be synthesized in the lab.
102259No --> 75% alpha --> 100255Fm + 24He2+
Nobelium-259 also decays by electron capture / beta+ with an incidence of about 25%. The NNDC database also states a spontaneous fission rate of less than 10%. That does not add up, but that's what the database says. I think the ambiguity is due to the relatively short half-life of the element and the difficulty in synthesizing and observing it.

What is the nuclear equation for the decay of Po210 if it undergoes 2 alpha decay then a beta decay followed by another alpha decay.?
92Au 282Xe +13S
Which equation correctly represents the alpha decay of polonium 214?
By alpha decay polonium-214 is transformed in lead-210. Po-214--------------alpha--------------Pb-210
What is the equations for the beta decay of radon-198?
Radon-198 does not decay via beta decay. It is thought to decay by alpha decay, but that is not certain. The equation would be ... 86198Rn -> (Alpha, T1/2 = 86 ms) -> 84194Po + 24He2+
What is the balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of thorium 230?
Th-230(alpha)Ra-226.
What equation correctly represents alpha decay of polonium 214?
The equation for the alpha decay of 210Po is: 84210Po --> 82206Pb + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. 206Pb, the daughter atom, is stable.
What is the nuclear equation for the decay of radium 226?
The equation for the alpha decay of 226Ra: 88226Ra --> 86222Rn + 24He The alpha particle is represented as a helium (He) nucleus.
What is the nuclear equation for the alpha decay of 242 Pu?
Plutonium-241 decays by both beta- and alpha decay. For beta- decay the equation is ...94241Pu -> 95241Am + e- + v-eNot asked but answered for completeness sake, for alpha decay the equation is ...94241Pu -> 92237U +24He2+
What is the equation for the alpha decay of uranium -237?
The equation for the alpha decay of 233Pu:94233Pu --> 92229U + 24He2+where the alpha particle is represented as a helium nucleus.Note that 233Pu decays by alpha decay with a probability of only 0.12%. The other 99.88% is Beta+ decay.
What is the equation Bismuth-210 to Lead-206 decay?
Lead-210 decays by alpha or beta decay. The equation for the alpha decay of 210Pb is: 82210Pb --> 80206Hg + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. The equation for the beta decay of 210Pb is: 82210Pb --> 83210Bi + -10e where the -10e is an electron.
What is the alpha decay of calcium 42 equation?
There is no equation. Calcium-42 is stable and does not decay. Calcium is also much to light for alpha decay, which requires elements heavier than nickel, so no isotope of calcium undergoes alpha decay.
What is the nuclear equation for the alpha decay of uranium 239?
Uranium-239 does NOT decay by alpha decay, it decays only by beta and gammadecay.
What is the nuclear decay equation for bohrium-265?
The equation for the alpha decay of 265Bh is:107265Bh --> 105261Db + 24He where the 24He is an alpha particle or helium nucleus.
