The alpha decay of what isotope of what element produces lead-206? the alpha decay of what isotope of what element produces lead-206? mercury-202 thallium-204 bismuth-208 polonium-210 radon-222

Answer : The element produces lead-206 is, polonium (Po)- 210

Explanation :

Alpha decay : In this process, alpha particles is emitted when a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei. The alpha particle released has a charge of +2 units.

The general representation of alpha decay reaction is:

As we are given that,

From the given data we conclude that,

So, the element is polonium (Po) that has atomic number 84 and atomic mass 210.

The complete alpha decay reaction will be,

Hence, the element produces lead-206 is, polonium (Po)- 210

the transfer of heat by electromagnetic radiation is called thermal radiation . it is usually carried out by electromagnetic waves in an energy range just below the visible spectrum, which is the infrared range.

so the answer would be radiation.
