Column A
1.
The mass number of the daughter atom is _____.:
The mass number of the daughter atom is _____.
2.
The atomic number of the daughter atom is _____.:
The atomic number of the daughter atom is _____.
3.
The symbol of the daughter atom is _____.:
The symbol of the daughter atom is _____.
Column B
a.216
b.86
c.208
d.82
e.Rn
f.Pb

Answer 1

1. The mass number of the daughter atom is c. 208
2. The atomic number of the daughter atom is d. 82
3. The symbol of the daughter atom is f. Pb

Therefore, the daughter atom produced when Polonium-212 undergoes alpha decay is Lead-208 (Pb-208).
