What daughter product remains after the alpha decay of polonium-212?
After the alpha decay of polonium-212, there is lead-208 212/84 Po --------> 208/82 Pb + 4/2 He Lead 208
What is the half life of polonium-212?
431 nanoseconds
Do you use polonium in everyday life?
Polonium is not used in everyday life.
What isolope remains after the alpha decay of polonium -212?
The decay of 212Po84 goes like that:212Po84 ----- 4a2 + 208Pb82The lead isotope that forms, 208, is stable.
What is the antonym of polonium?
Polonium is an element and has no antonym.
What type of radiation is emitted when polonium-212 forms?
Polonium-212 is formed by beta decay of bismuth-212.
What daughter product remains after the alpha decay of polonium-212?
After the alpha decay of polonium-212, there is lead-208 212/84 Po --------> 208/82 Pb + 4/2 He Lead 208
What is the half life of polonium-212?
431 nanoseconds
What type of radiation is emitted when polonium forms lead-208?
Lead-208 is formed by alpha decay (emission of alpha particles) from polonium-212.
What type of radiation is emitted when polonium-212 forms lead-208?
Polonium-212 loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons when it decays to lead-208. These 2 protons and 2 neutrons are lost as a single Helium nucleus. In other words, it is an alpha decay.
How do you write a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of polonium -216?
Po-216- -----------------> Pb-212
What isotope remains after the alpha decay of polonium 212?
Polonium 212 has 84 protons and 128 neutrons. An alpha particle is 2 protons and 2 neutrons, so the daughter nucleus will have 82 protons and 126 neutrons, making it lead 208.
Is polonium used in agriculture?
Any use for polonium in agriculture.
What was polonium used for around the early 1900s?
No use for polonium in 1900.
Do you use polonium in everyday life?
Polonium is not used in everyday life.
When Marie Curie discovered polonium what was it used for?
In 1898 polonium had any use.
How does polonium 216 undergo alpha decay to form a lead isotope?
The reaction is:Po-216----------------alpha particle-----------------Pb-212
