The Radium (Ra) nucleus decays as follow, 226Ra → ARn + 4He 88 Z 2 (a) What type of radioactive decay is this? (b) Find the atomic mass number A and the proton number Z of the resulting Radon (Rn) nucleus. (c) Given the masses (expressed in atomic mass unit, u) are 226.025410u for Radium, 2 222.017578u for Radon and 4.002603u for Helium and the square of the speed of light, c , is 931.494 MeV/u, calculate the energy released in this nuclear decay.
