Aradioisotope decays to give an alpha particle andpb-208.
what was the original element?
a.

b.
c.

d.

e.

The original element is

Explanation:

Alpha decay is defined as the process in which alpha particle is emitted. In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into a lighter nuclei. The alpha particle released carries a charge of +2 units.

The released alpha particle is also known as helium nucleus.

For the given alpha decay process of an isotope:

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

A = 208 + 4

A = 212

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

Z = 82 + 2

Z = 84

The isotopic symbol of unknown element is

Hence, the original element is

the potential energy of the reactants is 200j.

from the energy diagram, the energy of the product formed is 350j; this means that, this reaction is an endothermic reaction, because it absorbs energy from its environment.

sorry i was late, but i don't know what assignment your talking about, i'm in flvs as well, im in earth space science. but u are behind pace bc every class should be in the 3's or 4'
