What happens to a flexible container of gas when it is heated? a The particles slow down and the volume decreases.
b The particles speed up and the volume decreases.
c The particles slow down and the volume increases.
d The particles speed up and the volume increases.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
