218 is the Atomic Mass of the Polonium isotope.
Polonium is a naturally radioactive metallic element, occurring in minute quantities as a product of radium disintegration and produced by bombarding bismuth or lead with neutrons. It has 27 isotopes ranging in mass number from 192 to 218, of which Po 210, with a half-life of 138.39 days, is the most readily available. Atomic number 84; melting point 254°C; boiling point 962°C; specific gravity 9.32; valence 2, 4.

Well, honey, 218 rounded to the nearest ten is 220. You were only two away from a nice, even number. Better luck next time!

The number 218 in polonium-218 represents the total number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the nucleus of that specific isotope of polonium. It refers to the sum of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus of the polonium-218 atom.
Polonium-218 is radioactive.
Polonium-218 decay to lead-214.
The beta minus decay of polonium isotopes is extremely rare. Beta decay involve the increase of the atomic number with 1.Example: Po-218----------------beta minus---------------At-218
Polonium-218 undergoes alpha decay to form lead-214, which then undergoes beta decay to form bismuth-214.
An atom of polonium changes into an atom of lead after it emits an alpha particle. This transformation occurs as a result of radioactive decay, where the polonium nucleus loses two protons and two neutrons, transforming it into a lead nucleus.
The nucleus of a polonium-218 atom contains 84 protons and 134 neutrons, while the nucleus of a radon-222 atom contains 86 protons and 136 neutrons. This difference in the number of protons and neutrons results in different nuclear properties and stability for each atom.
When astatine-218 undergoes alpha decay, it emits a helium nucleus (alpha particle) and transforms into the new element, polonium-214. This process reduces the atomic number of the nucleus by 2 and the mass number by 4.
Polonium is a metal element. Atomic mass of it is 209.
Polonium has 84 protons.
Polonium-210 has 126 neutrons.
Polonium has the atomic number 84 in the periodic table.
