write the balanced nuclear equation for the radioactive decay of radium-226 to give radon-222, and determine the type of decay

DEAR THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS,

Explanation: Consider the equation for the decay of radium-226 to radon-222, with the simultaneous loss of an alpha particle and energy in the form of a gamma ray. Radium-226 is the reactant; radon, an alpha particle, and a gamma ray are the products. The equation is:

shown in the attach figure

TYPE OF DECAY: as α-particle emmit in this reaction hence its the α-decay

It decays by emitting an alpha particle composed of two protons and two neutrons. The radium nucleus turns into radon-222 nucleus, itself radioactive, containing two protons and two neutrons less. The disintegration releases 4.6 million electronvolts of energy

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.
