To determine

Whether heavy form of hydrogen by alpha emission or not.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Alpha emission is the radioactive decay process where the atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle. The nucleus formed will have mass number reduced by 4 and atomic number by 2.

Alpha particle is the doubly charged positive helium nucleus. It is represented as H24e . The alpha particle has two protons and two neutrons.

Conclusion: The heavy form of hydrogen nucleus contain only on proton. Since, alpha particle has two protons, it can’t be formed by the decay of hydrogen
