Answer:
Yes.
The nuclear equation {226/88 Ra → 222/26 Rn + 4/2 He} is balanced. As we know that an alpha particle is identical to a helium atom. This implies that if an alpha particle is eliminated from an atom's nucleus, an atomic number of 2 and a mass number of 4 is lost.
Therefore, the equation will be reduced to:
226 - 4 = 222
88 - 2 = 86
Hence, the equation is balanced.
