The equation of reaction when polonium undergoes alpha decay is
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
An isotope is any form of chemical element which has the identical number of protons in the nuclei of an atom but it does not have the identical number of neutrons in its nucleus. The isotope has the same atomic number but it has a different
In a given example, alpha particle of polonium undergoes alpha decay. When polonium undergoes alpha decay at this time
Where,
Polonium has
