Polonium-210 lose an alpha particle and become lead-206.
The correct equation for the alpha decay of Polonium-214 is: 218/84Po -> 214/82Pb + 4/2He This shows the decay of Polonium-214 into Lead-214 and a Helium nucleus, where the atomic number and mass numbers are conserved.
Po-216- -----------------> Pb-212
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.

When bismuth-214 (Bi-214) undergoes radioactive decay, it primarily decays into polonium-214 (Po-214) through beta decay. Polonium-214 is also radioactive and further decays into lead-210 (Pb-210) via alpha decay. This sequence is part of the decay chain of uranium-238, where bismuth-214 is an intermediate product.

The daughter product that remains after the alpha decay of polonium-212 is lead-208. During alpha decay, polonium-212 loses an alpha particle, consisting of two protons and two neutrons, resulting in the transformation to lead-208.
The reaction is:Po-216----------------alpha particle-----------------Pb-212
The reaction is:Po-210------------alpha particle------------------Pb-206
Po-216- -----------------> Pb-212
