Which new element would form if lead (Pb) went through alpha decay?

Alpha decay is the loss of two protons and two neutrons from a nucleus. This decreases the total mass number by
4
and the atomic number by
2
.
In the form of an equation this is
218
84
Po
→
214
82
X
+
2
2
He
Looking at the periodic table we can find that element number
82
is lead,
Pb
, so the product element
X
is
Pb
.

Non metal is an element or substance that is not a metal metal is a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivitymetalloid is an element (e.g., germanium or silicon) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals. they are electrical semiconductors.
