Question
![**Alpha Decay (Emission)**
The equation for alpha decay involves francium-220:
\[
\begin{align*}
^{220}_{87}\text{Fr} \rightarrow \,^{4}_{2}\alpha + \,^{216}_{85}\text{At}
\end{align*}
\]
**Question:** What are the products of francium-220 decay above?
**Equation:**
\[
\begin{align*}
^{220}_{87}\text{Fr} \rightarrow \,^{4}_{2}\alpha + \,^{216}_{85}\text{At}
\end{align*}
\]
**Explanation:**
- **Francium-220 (\(^{220}_{87}\text{Fr}\))** decays into an **alpha particle (\(^{4}_{2}\alpha\))** and **astatine-216 (\(^{216}_{85}\text{At}\))**.

The equation for beta decay involves nitrogen-16:
\[
\begin{align*}
^{16}_{7}\text{N} \rightarrow \,^{0}_{-1}\beta + \,^{16}_{8}\text{O}
\end{align*}
\]
**Question:** What are the products of nitrogen-16 decay above?
**Equation:**
\[
\begin{align*}
^{16}_{7}\text{N} \rightarrow \,^{0}_{-1}\beta + \,^{16}_{8}\text{O}
\end{align*}
\]
**Explanation:**
- **Nitrogen-16 (\(^{16}_{7}\text{N}\))** decays into a **beta particle (\(^{0}_{-1}\beta\))** and **oxygen-16 (\(^{16}_{8}\text{O}\))**.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F97ee12d2-643b-406e-af9b-a68b2b88ab64%2F9f571d42-1f9e-4eb2-930c-d672659b821f%2Fpt0qg6_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
