Answer:
Option D. ²⁰⁸₈₄Po
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
²¹²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂He + ?
Let the unknown be ⁿₓD. Thus, the equation becomes:
²¹²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂He + ⁿₓD
Next, we shall determine n, x and D. This can be obtained as follow:
212 = 4 + n
Collect like terms
212 – 4 = n
208 = n
n = 208
86 = 2 + x
Collect like terms
86 – 2 = x
84 = x
x = 84
ⁿₓD => ²⁰⁸₈₄D = > ²⁰⁸₈₄Po
²¹²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂He + ²⁰⁸₈₄Po
Thus, option D gives the correct answer to the question.
