Radon is a radioactive noble gas formed in soil containing radium. Radium-226 decays by emitting a single alpha particle to produce radon-222. Write the nuclear equation for this decay of radium-226.
Write a balanced nuclear equation for the decay of radon-222 to polonium-218. Whether or not the process is observed in nature, which of the following could account for the transformation of iodine-123 to tellurium-123? (Select all that apply.) electron capture alpha decay beta decay positron emission Whether or not the process is observed in nature, which of the following could account for the transformation of phosphorus-28 to silicon-28? (Select all that apply.) positron emission electron capture alpha decay beta decay

. Of much concern to environmentalists is radon-222, which is a radioactive noble gas that can seep from the ground into basements of homes and buildings. Radon-222 is a product of the decay of radium-226 that occurs naturally in rocks and soil in much of the United States. Radon-222, which has a half-life of 3.8 days, decays by emitting an alpha particle. Radon-222, which is a gas, can be inhaled into the lungs where it is strongly associated with lung...
