Polonium-210 emits alpha particles, which are composed of two protons and two neutrons. These particles are relatively large and have a limited range in air, making them less penetrating but potentially harmful if ingested or inhaled.

Polonium is a metal element. Atomic mass of it is 209.
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).
Polonium-210 is an example of a radioisotope that emits alpha particles.
The symbol Po-210 represents the isotope of Polonium with a mass number of 210.
Polonium-210 become lead-206 after the emission of an alpha particle.
Polonium, which has an atomic number of 84, decays to astatine, which has an atomic number of 85, a negative beta particle is emitted.
The reaction is:Po-210------------alpha particle------------------Pb-206
Polonium-210 lose an alpha particle and become lead-206.
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.
Polonium-210 is an alpha emitter.
Polonium-210 has 126 neutrons.
alpha particle dont ask why cuz i dont know
Polonium-210 has 84 protons, 84 electrons and 126 neutrons.
Polonium-210 decay to lead-206.
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.
