Write a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of titanium-45.

Sagot :

Explanation:

20984Po→20582Pb+42α

4520Ca→4521Sc+0-1e+00ν

Explanation:

The alpha decay of polonum-209, which consists of the emission of an alpha particle, will leave behind the atom of a different element.

Notice that the identity of the element changes after the decay. This means that you're dealing with a nuclear transmutation, a process that converts an atom of a given element into an atom of a different element.
