write the nuclear fusion reaction for nitrogen- 14 fusing with Helium- 4.
Radon, one of the noble gases, is a decay product of uranium and is itself radioactive, with a half-life of 3.8 days3.8 days. As a heavy gas, radon can accumulate in low areas such as basements and crawl spaces. Consequently, radon is considered a significant source of air pollution and radiation exposure and, according to the EPA, is the second most frequent cause of lung cancer in the United States.
Write the nuclear equation for the alpha decay of Rn‑222.
