The scientist had a sample of polonium-210. The radiation emitted by polonium-210 can be represented by the symbol 2 4 He. 0 1 . 1 Which type of radiation can be represented by the symbol 2 4 He? [1 mark] Tick ( ) one box. Alpha Beta Gamma How many protons are there in a particle of radiation represented by 4 0 1 . 2 2 He? Tick ( ) one box. [1 mark] 2 4 6 8 0 1 . 3 A polonium-210 (Po) nucleus changes into a lead (Pb) nucleus by emitting a 4 2 He particle. This is shown by the following nuclear equation. 21084Po → 206XPb + 4 2He What is the value of X? [1 mark] Tick ( ) one box.
