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.

What type of decay is involved when polonium -214 decays into lead -210?

Alpha decay is involved when polonium-214 decays into lead-210. In alpha decay, an alpha particle (2 protons and 2 neutrons) is emitted from the nucleus, reducing the atomic number by 2 and the mass number by 4.

Radon-222 undergoes alpha decay to produce polonium-218as a daughter.


What particle is emitted when P-32 decays to S-32?

When P-32 decays to S-32, a beta particle is emitted. This beta particle is an electron released during the conversion of a neutron into a proton within the nucleus of the atom.
