The decay of 212Po84 goes like that:
212Po84 ----- 4a2 + 208Pb82
The lead isotope that forms, 208, is stable.
After the alpha decay of polonium-212, there is lead-208 212/84 Po --------> 208/82 Pb + 4/2 He Lead 208
Polonium-218-------------alpha---------------Lead-214
If radon-210 undergoes alpha decay, it will produce the alpha particle (which is a helium-4 nucleus) and polonium-206. The equation looks like this: 86210Ra => 24He + 84206Po You'll note that in the balanced nuclear equation, the atomic numbers, which are the subscripts, balance on both sides of the equation (86 = 2 + 84). The atomic masses, which are the superscripts, also balance on both sides of the equation (210 = 4 + 206).
alpha decay
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+
After the alpha decay of polonium-212, there is lead-208 212/84 Po --------> 208/82 Pb + 4/2 He Lead 208
By alpha decay polonium-214 is transformed in lead-210. Po-214--------------alpha--------------Pb-210
Polonium-218-------------alpha---------------Lead-214
It is alpha decay. In the process, an alpha particle(He2+) is released. So, it is called alpha decay.
All isotopes of polonium can undergo alpha decay, a small number of isotopes can also undergo beta decay, K capture decay, or gamma decay.
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.
The reaction is:Po-210------------alpha particle------------------Pb-206
bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206
Lead-208 is formed by alpha decay (emission of alpha particles) from polonium-212.
No, after the alpha decay of polonium lead isotopes were obtained.
Polonium-210 lose an alpha particle and become lead-206.
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.
