Given information
The half-life of 
that is an alpha emitter, is given as
. The mass of 
is given as 
.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The nuclei which show spontaneous decay with time are called radioactive nuclei. The radioactive decay follows the first-order kinetic and the half-life is inversely proportional to the decay constant of the radioactive decay.
