In some areas there are high levels of background radiation. Explain what is meant by background radiation. Suggest how background radiation can be detected. Radon-219 (21 6Rn) is a radioactive gas. Complete the table below to show the number of each type of particle in a neutral atom of 21 6Rn. type of particle number electron neutron proton Alpha particles are emitted when radon-219 decays. Tick the box alongside the correct symbol for an alpha particle. α β γ From what part of the radon-219 atom is the alpha particle emitted? Complete the table below to show the composition of an alpha particle. type of particle number electron neutron proton
