Which consequence results when radon-222 undergoes alpha decay?

💡 Explanation

The alpha decay results in polonium-218 and an alpha particle release because the alpha decay mechanism reduces the atomic number by 2 and mass number by 4, therefore only option A is correct, rather than alternatives that do not fit the decay parameters.
