Since an alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus, the resulting atom has an Atomic Mass that is 4 less, so 226 minus 4. Also, to get the element, look up the element number for radium, and subtract two from that.

226Ra --> 222Rn + 4He

222Rn --> 218Po + 4He

218Po --> 214Pb + 4He, 218At + e-

214Pb --> 214Bi + e-

218At --> 214Bi + 4He, 218Rn + e-

214Bi --> 210Tl + 4He, 214Po + e-

218Rn --> 214Po + 4He

210Tl --> 210Pb + e-

214Po --> 210Pb + 4He

210Pb --> 210Bi + e-

210Bi --> 206Tl + 4He, 210Po + e-

206Tl --> 206Pb + e-

210Po --> 206Pb + 4He

206Pb, stable
