35. Many home smoke detectors use americunium-241 as a radiation source. In the smoke detector, americunium-241 emits alpha particles. These alpha particles are detected by the detector unless smoke particles block their passage. Thus, as long as there are no smoke particles, the detector gets a continuous stream of alpha particles hitting it; smoke causes a disruption in this stream and activates the alarm. What is the daughter nuclide that is produced in the decay of americunium- 241 by alpha emission. Give the name and mass of the daughter isotope. Example: Einsteinium-252
