Polonium-210 (21084Po) has an atomic mass of 209.982848 u and decays via the emission of an... particle to Lead-206 (20682Pb) which has an atomic mass of 205.974440 u. The alpha particle has a mass of 4.00153 u. The decay scheme can be represented as shown: 210 84 206 82 Po Pb+ What is the difference in mass between 210Po and its daughter products (206Pb and a) (in u)? How much energy must the a particle carry away in the form of kinetic energy (in MeV)? At what maximum speed will a particles be found to be ejected from the 210Po decay? (You can assume that the 210Po and 206Pb remain at rest and you can ignore relativistic effects.)
