Hey everyone, we're asked to identify the expected mode of decay for Boeri um to 70. Now, if we look at our periodic table, we find that its atomic number is going to be 107. And we've learned that if our atomic mass is greater than or equal to 200, then are expected, motive decay is going to be an alpha decay, which is going to be our final answer Since Forums Atomic Mass is 2 70. So I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
