← ScienceWhich consequence results when radon-222 undergoes alpha decay?
A)Polonium-218 and an alpha particle.✓
B)Radium-226 and beta particle.
C)Lead-214 and a gamma ray.
D)Francium-223 and a neutrino.
💡 Explanation
The alpha decay results in polonium-218 and an alpha particle release because the alpha decay mechanism reduces the atomic number by 2 and mass number by 4, therefore only option A is correct, rather than alternatives that do not fit the decay parameters.
