Answer 1

Answer: umm I don’t think that is correct form can you take a picture?? And if you can I would be glad to change my answer and help.

Nvm I have a picture from my work.

So Po->He+Pb

We know that but numbers in front you just do the inverse operation by subtracting four from 218 and subtracting two from 84.
