The neutrons aren't really relevant, since we don't know what the mass of the radium nucleus was and the element is determined strictly by the number of protons anyway. Radium has an atomic number of 88; losing 4 protons would make the atomic number 84, which is polonium. (This is probably really a two-step process: radium -> radon -> polonium, where each step is an alpha decay.)

When an isotope in the rock decays a new what is formed?

When an isotope in the rock decays, a new isotope or element is formed. This process is known as radioactive decay, where the original isotope changes into a different element or isotope through the emission of particles or energy.


When an isotope in the rock decays a new is formed?

Surely, this is a question to homework... Yes? Well... I'm not quite sure myself, but I believe a new element is formed.


How high would the atomic number of a new element need to be to appear under radium in the periodic table?

Element 118 finishes out period 7 at group 18. Radium is in group 2. So, following the trend, the next element under radium would be element 120.

What element does radium become once it has decayed?

Radium undergoes radioactive decay, specifically alpha decay, to become radon. Radium-226 (226Ra) will undergo alpha decay releasing that alpha particle, which is a helium-4 nucleus, to become radon-222 (222Rn).


What element is formed when Ra emits an alpha particle?

When radium (Ra) emits an alpha particle, it transforms into radon (Rn). This process is also known as alpha decay, where an alpha particle is released from the nucleus of the radium atom, resulting in the formation of a new element.


What new element is formed if magnesium-24 is bombarded with a neutron and then ejects a proton?

Sodium-24 would be formed if magnesium-24 is bombarded with a neutron and then ejects a proton. The neutron is absorbed to form magnesium-25, which then decays by emitting a proton to become sodium-24.
