← ScienceWhich consequence results when radon gas undergoes radioactive decay?
A)Alpha particle emission and polonium formation✓
B)Gamma radiation emission with constant mass
C)Beta decay yielding stable helium
D)Neutron emission forms heavier isotopes
💡 Explanation
Alpha decay occurs when radon emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus); this transmutation results in the formation of polonium. Therefore, polonium is formed rather than other elements, because alpha emission lowers the atomic number.
