Question

²⁰⁰Po+ ____ ²⁰⁰Bi

		Alpha emission
		Beta emission
		Positron emission
		Electron capture
		Gamma emission

Expert Solution

Step 1

In the given radioactive decay of ²⁰⁰Po to ²⁰⁰Bi. The two elements has the same mass number . Again, the atomic number of Po is 84 and atomic number of Bi is 83. Thus, ²⁰⁰Po after undergoing radioactive decay has resulted an element having same mass number and its atomic number is reduced by 1 i.e. the new element formed has 1 proton reduced.
