The atomic number is 86 which gives the number of protons. 220Rn has 220 protons and neutrons so the neutron count iscalcualted as follows:
220 -86 = 134 neutrons
220Rn is an unstable isotope of Radon.
The atomic number of radium (Ra) is 88. So there are 88 protons
Every atom, isotope, and ion of Radon will have 86 protons. It won't matter how many neutrons or electrons there are; if its Radon, then there will be 86 protons.
Radon has atomic number 86. That means it has 86 protons. The specific isotope doesn't matter. (It does matter if you want to figure out the number of neutrons, though.)
226Ra has 138 neutrons.
86 protons
132 neutrons

If two protons and two neutrons are removed from a uranium nucleus, the new element is thorium. The isotope cannot be determined because the identity of the uranium isotope was not given.
Each isotope of copernicium has a different number of neutrons: 165, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173.
Rn or Radon is a noble gas, and has 8 Valence Electrons
The electron configuration of curium is [Rn]5f7.6d1.7s2.
Full name of Rn?Radon=====
The isotope 210Rn has 86 protons and electrons; also 124 neutrons.
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope: Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - 86 The isotope 222Rn, the most stable (half life = 3,8 days) radon isotope, has 136 neutrons.
Radon has 86 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope: Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the Rn isotope - 86
Thoron is the ld name of the isotope radon-220 (Rn-220).
Thoron is a radioactive isotope of radon, Rn 220, having a half-life of 54.5 seconds and produced by the disintegration of thorium
An alpha particle consists of 2 Neutrons and 2 Protons, therefore A=4, Z=2.For Ra-224: A=224, Z=88.Subtracting the values for the alpha particle from Radium-224:A = (224-4) = 220Z = (88-2) = 86The nucleus with a Z of 86 is Radon, or in this case, Rn-220.So that: Ra-224 --> Rn-220 + AlphaBut alpha particles are just Helium-4 nuclei.Ra-224 --> Rn-220 + He-4
In the case of Rn-222, which is the "isotope of concern" because it occurs naturally, it decays as follows: 222Rn => 218Po + He+2 In this equation, we see the radon isotope Rn-222 emit an alpha particle (the helium nucleus) and undergo a transformation to become the polonium isotope, Po-218.
210 4 214 84 PO -------> 2 alpha + 86 RN
Nuclear fission of some isotopes release a great quantity of energy. Plutonium is a fissile material (isotopes 239Pu and 241Pu); it is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. Also Pu(alpha,n)Be is a source of neutrons and Pu is used as power or heat source.
Isotopes are not designated by atomic number. The element with atomic number 88 is Radium. Because different isotopes of the same element vary by the number of neutrons in the nucleus, the isotope is designated by the atomic mass. For example, most carbon atoms have six protons, so the atomic number is 6. The most common isotope has 6 neutrons, so the isotope (Carbon 12) is the same as the atomic mass, 12 (6P + 6N), but there are isotopes with atomic masses of 13 (6P + 7N) and 14 (6P + 8N). Carbon 14 is familar as a dating tool when organic compounds are present. The only isotope given for Radium in the periodic table is 266.
Some berkelium nuclear properties are: - berkelium is radioactive and unstable - berkelium has 26 isotopes and isomers - the electron configuration is [Rn]5f97s2 - berkelium has 97 protons in the nucleus; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope - during disintegration berkelium emit alfa particles, electrons or positrons
If two protons and two neutrons are removed from a uranium nucleus, the new element is thorium. The isotope cannot be determined because the identity of the uranium isotope was not given.
