When the nuclide bismuth-210 undergoes alpha decay: The name of the product nuclide is.
The symbol for the product nuclide is
Fill in the nuclide symbol for the missing particle in the following nuclear equation.
rightarrow 4He+ 234Th
2 90
Write a balanced nuclear equation for the following:
The nuclide radium-226 undergoes alpha emission.

Explanation:

An atom undergoes alpha decay by losing a helium atom.

So when bismuth undergoes alpha decay, we have;

²¹⁰₈₃Bi --> ⁴₂He + X

Mass number;

210 = 4 + x

x = 206

Atomic number;

83 = 2 + x

x = 81

The element is Thallium. The symbol is Ti.

For the second part;

X --> ⁴₂He + ²³⁴₉₀Th

Mass number;

x = 4 + 234 = 238

Atomic Number;

x = 2 + 90 = 92

The balanced nuclear equation is;

²³⁸₉₂U --> ⁴₂He + ²³⁴₉₀Th

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.

the answer is a and have a great day
