Answer:
ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po
Explanation:
Let ⁿₐX be the isotope.
Thus, the equation can be written as follow:
²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX
Next, we shall determine the value of 'n' and 'a'. This can be obtained as follow:
222 = 4 + n
Collect like terms
222 – 4 = n
218 = n
Thus,
n = 218
86 = 2 + a
Collect like terms
86 – 2 = a
84 = a
Thus,
a = 84
ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po
²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX
²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ²¹⁸₈₄Po
